Western Bulldogs acting captain Easton Wood may still play again this season after injuring his ankle on the weekend.

Wood landed awkwardly in a marking contest and took no further part in theย match, with fears he may miss the rest of the season.

However, Bulldogs' general manager of football Graeme Lowe said the injury is not as bad as first thought.

โ€œWoody had scans this morning and the good news is there is no bone damage but he does have a medial ligament injury that we need to address,โ€ Loweย said.

โ€œHeโ€™s going to be in a CAM boot for the next seven to ten days, and once his CAM boot is removed, then weโ€™ll determine his return to play, but weโ€™re optimistic that he can play a part in our finals series.โ€
