Tom Liberatore will miss another game for the Western Bulldogs, remaining in concussion protocols.

The Dogs veteran was concussed 12 days ago against Geelong, making him technically available to take on Fremantle on Friday night, but is not ready.

It is not seen as a major setback long-term at this stage, with the club taking a cautious approach and keeping him in concussion protocols.

Liberatore suffered an accidental head knock from Patrick Dangerfield against the Cats and has a history of knocks.

In positive news, key forward Aaron Naughton is set to play against Fremantle despite a sickening fall in last week's clash.

Naughton landed awkwardly on his neck, and was stretchered from the ground. The Bulldogs cleared him of concussion and any serious injuries.

More to come ...
