April 16th 2008 12:29
According to a club source Essendon spearhead full foward Matthew Lloyd will return and play against the saints this friday night at the telstra dome.Lloyd missed lastweeks game against the bulldogs because of a suspected torn calf muscle.Scans early this week confirmed that there was a build up of fluid in his calf muscle and no tear, much to Lloyds delight.Essendon coach Matthew Knights today told the herald sun that ''Lloyd wouldnt be playing unless he was 100% '' and that he would have a further test on thursay night at training.The source tells me that Lloyd is fit to play and will most likely be in the selected line up tomorrow night.The bombers face St kilda friday night at the dome which should be a close game going by the last time they played in the nab cup earlier this year.Lloyd will provide relief to the essendon foward line that has been struggling with injury since the start of the year with key forward Scott Lucas doing a knee injury in the first game and a number of other forward players doing hamstrings.Essendon are looking into the cause of a number of injurys to players this year narrowing it down to fatigue during game breaks and hard surfaces at windy hill and the telstra dome according to the Essendon coach Matthew knights.Another couple of bombers could be making a return this week including Andrew Welsh (hamstring) and Angus Monfries (food sickness) having these players and Matthew Lloyd return should give the bombers a fighting chance against the backed favorite Saints.
