Key Fremantle recruit Harley Bennell (pictured) is no closer to a return to the Dockers squad.
Bennell has been battling to recover from a calf injury that he picked up the week before the season commenced and the injury has failed to respond to treatment.
Dockers coach Ross Lyon says while the club has called on the best medical advice in the country, Bennell’s return is still no closer and it could be much later than was first anticipated.
