FREMANTLE has received mixed ruck news this morning, with Aaron Sandilands suffering an injury setback but Zac Clarke still in the frame for Round 1.
The Dockers this morning confirmed Sandilands had aggravated the left hamstring injury he sustained in the first week of the NAB Cup.
The 30-year-old is set to travel to Melbourne to consult a specialist. It is unclear how the setback will affect the original timeframe of four weeks for the ruckman's return.
"Once Aaron has been assessed by the specialist and we have his medical report, we will be in a position to comment further on the preferred course of action," football operations manager Chris Bond said.
Sandilands has played just 27 of a possible 46 games in the past two seasons.
In better news for the Dockers, fellow ruckman Zac Clarke has not yet been ruled out of Saturday's derby clash with West Coast.
Clarke limped off the track at Fremantle Oval yesterday after appearing to suffer an injury to his lower right leg.
Bond said the ruck giant had been cleared of serious injury and would be monitored throughout the week.
"Zac will be assessed throughout the week to determine if he is available to play in round one," he said.
