“Disappointingly, Kate picked up that low-grade quad strain last week,” Batterton said.
“She was really close to playing but we did make the conservative decision to hold her out of the game.
“She’ll look to do some rehab in the early part of this week and through the backend will test at training on Thursday.
“She’s made really good progress since last week, so we are quite optimistic that she’ll be available this weekend.”
“Last Tuesday, Gabby had a full training session that she needed to tick off and she did sustain a head knock during that session, but at the time was cleared of concussion,” Batterton said.
“Off the back of that, she was monitored really closely in the lead up to the game as she was coming out of that previous concussion.
“She had some really low-grade symptoms just before the game, so for that reason she was pulled out of the match.
“She's entered the concussion protocols again, which is a real shame for Gabby, but the main priority here is her health.
“She also won't be available this week and we’ll look to hopefully see her tick off a few boxes at the back end of next week.”
“That head knock during the game did put her into concussion protocols,” Batterton said.
“She’ll work through those protocols over the next couple weeks and therefore won’t be available this week.”
“Paxy’s foot is still niggly, but she's making really good progress,” Batterton said.
“She’ll hopefully reintegrate into some running today and maybe some training late this week, early next week.
“So, we're taking steps forward, but just not in time for this week’s game.”
"Scans this week revealed the 27-year-old, who sustained injury to the same shoulder in pre-season, had suffered a repeat anterior shoulder dislocation.
"After further consultation with a specialist on Tuesday, it was recommended Harris undergo surgery."
“It’s obviously such a disappointing outcome, injuring herself so close to the beginning of our season,” Mulholland told Melbourne Media.
“Although we are thousands of kilometres away, we are wrapping our arms around Aimee and will offer whatever support we can in these challenging circumstances.
“There’s lots to work through as we decide how to approach the rest of the season, however, our thoughts at the moment are focused on Aimee and her recovery.”
