Injury update: Boag, Teakle progressing toward return

Duo Ella Boag and Julia Teakle are both expected to be eligible for selection within the next three weeks.

ELLA Boag and Julia Teakle are making positive strides in their recovery, with both players expected to be eligible for selection within the next three weeks.

Boag sustained a lateral ankle sprain at training before the Round 4 Geelong clash, with the 19-year-old recovering well and expected to begin running on Tuesday.

Teakle has already resumed running over the past week, with the tall forward making good progress after signs of stress were detected in her foot following Round 2.

After ending her season early by rupturing her ACL in Round 4, Indy Tahau underwent a successful surgery on Thursday to reconstruct the ligament.

The 20-year-old is travelling well and remains in good spirits, despite the circumstances.

Port Adelaide will name its side for this Saturday’s game against Sydney at 5:50pm ACST on Thursday.

Injury list

Julia Teakle – foot (1-2 weeks)
Ella Boag – ankle (2-3 weeks)
Indy Tahau – knee (season)
