Dog to miss up to 10 weeks with severe hamstring tear

INJURY-PLAGUED Western Bulldogs midfielder Lin Jong has suffered a major hamstring blow after being forced from the field in the Dogs' match simulation this week.

Jong, 25, is set to miss up to 10 weeks after scans on Friday morning confirmed a high-grade hamstring tear.

It comes after Jong played just 10 games last year on his return from a ruptured ACL before sustaining a broken collarbone in round 15.

Meantime, draftee Buku Khamis is also expected to be sidelined for up to two months after straining his PCL in Thursday's session.
