Weitering, a co-vice captain at Carlton, sought further medical advice for his chest area after returning to the club. The assessment confirmed a rib fracture, but good news is that he hasn't sustained any other injuries. This means he's still in the running to play in the opening round, and the club is optimistic about his recovery.
The 28-year-old is now focusing on a full recovery, with the club set to confirm his availability to play against Sydney during the week of the opening round. While this is a positive development, fans will be eager to see Weitering back on the field, and the club is doing everything it can to ensure his return.
But here's where it gets interesting... While the club is optimistic, there are still concerns about his recovery timeline and whether he'll be 100% fit for the opening round. Fans and experts alike are divided on his chances, with some arguing that a full recovery may take longer than expected. So, while the club is hopeful, the question remains: will Weitering be ready to play in the opening round?
