UPDATE: Nic Naitanui could be sidelined for an “extended period” because of injury, his club says. Damian Barrett has reported there is a new injury concern around star West Coast ruckman Nic Naitanui, with the belief he has injured his ankle. Naitanui has missed all of this season so far after he ruptured his ACL in Round 22 last year.While there had been hope the star ruckman could make a late-season return, Simpson conceded that was looking less likely by the week.“He’s a small chance, it’s getting smaller by the week,” Simpson said on Fox Sports News’ “He’s going to travel overseas and do some intensive rehab and that’s always (been) the plan — and we were hoping to do that earlier in the year but at this stage it’s getting pretty difficult.“Once he gets back from overseas, we’ll make a call on it but it’s getting towards the end of the year and it’s going to be pretty tough for him.”The Eagles have struggled to settle on a ruck solution this season in Naitanui’s absence — especially given Scott Lycett’s own struggles with injury.Nathan Vardy has been solid in the ruck/forward role, occasionally supported by Drew Petrie, while Jonathan Giles has been out of favour, playing just five games.While West Coast currently sitting seventh — and will likely be in the position to play finals — Simpson said that wouldn’t affect the club’s approach to Naitanui.“I’ve had this discussion with Nic and with the rest of the club about how we handle that,” he said.“If he’s up and about and can make it towards the back half of the year and (is) available in the last three or four rounds, we’ll go for it.“But if he’s not, he’s not — so it’s not really based on whether we play finals or not“We’ll separate the two and make that decision in the next few weeks.”Naitanui has played 146 games for the Eagles since his debut in 2009, kicking 96 goals.A NOTE ABOUT RELEVANT ADVERTISING: We collect information about the content (including ads) you use across this site and use it to make both advertising and content more relevant to you on our network and other sites.

From what I see clinically, ACL injuries may have more to do with the ankle than we realize.

Vision of Naitanui hobbling into the medical office comes after an Instagram post from the star which read: "It hurts but it's OK I'm used to it".Premiership hero Dom Sheed said the squad had their fingers crossed for Naitanui as they prepare to travel to Alice Springs where they will match up against Melbourne and All-Australian ruckman Max Gawn.“I think he’s a bit sore but I’m not sure exactly what it is,” Sheed said earlier.He said Gawn was one of the toughest ruckmen in the competition.
