Hawks hopeful on defensive duo Suckling and Spangher
Important defensive duo likely to be fit to face Geelong, Hawks say
HAWTHORN has received some positive injury news ahead of its blockbuster clash against Geelong, with defenders Matt Suckling and Matt Spangher likely to be available.
Suckling was substituted out of the Hawks' loss to Fremantle on Sunday with an ankle issue but the Hawks are hopeful the important defender will be fit to face the Cats.
"He was a little bit sore when it first happened. He limped off," Hawks general manager of football operations Chris Fagan told the club's website.
“Early signs he’ll be fine, he’ll need to do a test on Thursday. I’m pretty certain he’ll be available.”
