Reece Walsh faces a minor setback in recovery from a knee injury ahead of this weekend's game.
Reece Walsh has reportedly suffered a 'minor' setback at Broncos training as he pushes for a return from a knee injury this weekend. Walsh hasn't played since Round 7 when he suffered an MCL injury against the Warriors.
The timeline for his return was put at 4-6 weeks, and this weekend will mark six weeks since the injury. The Broncos are expected to name Walsh on Tuesday in their squad to take on Manly on Saturday night, but his return has been thrown into doubt.
According to The Courier Mail, Walsh suffered a slight setback at training on Monday and reported some soreness in the knee. His return would be a huge boost for a Broncos side that has lost five of their last six games, but coach Michael Maguire might opt to play it safe with his $5 million fullback.
