“Michael Hurley saw the specialist earlier this week,” club physical performance manager Justin Crow said on Tuesday. Hurley has been on the sidelines since suffering an AC joint injury in the Bombers’ defeat of North Melbourne in round 17, but impressive recent progress has seen the important defender eye off a potential return this week.
Two-time All Australian Michael Hurley is in the mix to return for Essendon’s crucial clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday.
