WESTERN Bulldogs co-captain Isabelle Pritchard is set for a short stint on the sidelines with a knee injury, while Gold Coast will need to call on some reinforcements with a host of key players set to miss this week’s clash against Greater Western Sydney.

Pritchard will miss the next 1-3 weeks with a knee injury, while teammate Issy Grant will need to prove her fitness for a huge clash against Geelong with a hamstring concern.

The Suns will be without a trio of young guns in Ava Usher, Daisy D'Arcy and Dekota Baron, while Clara Fitzpatrick will be a test with a foot complaint.
