Fogarty's finger fixed as other Titans also come back into selection mix

Titans co-captain Jamal Fogarty is a strong chance of returning for Sunday's game against the Bulldogs, with his finger injury recovering nicely.

Gold Coast High Performance Manager Klint Hoare says he expects the half-back to be available for selection after missing last weeks win against the Dragons.

"Jamal continues to progress nicely from his compound dislocation with no infection occurring," Hoare said.

"The aim is to integrate him into skills throughout week and we will look at incorporating contact work at the back end of the week which will determine his availability."

Brian Kelly is also expected to be fit to play, with the centre's ankle injury to be managed this week.

"Brian suffered a lateral ankle ligament strain but he will be available for selection for the Bulldogs game this weekend," Hoare said.

"We'll modify some of his training leading into game day."

Erin Clark is another that could return this week, with Hoare confirming that the hooker is recovering well from his elbow injury and could come back into the selection mix.

Phillip Sami is one player who won't line up against the Bulldogs as he continues to recover from an ankle complaint.

"Phil will commence his rehab return to play running program this week," Hoare said.

"The aim is to introduce him back into light skills next week.

"We are currently increasing the range of the ankle joint and strengthening within the gym while we are also increasing proprioception balance – awareness of the position and movement of his body in relation to foot plant.

"Jayden Campbell is in a similar scenario to Phil and will commence his return to run program at the back end of the week."

2022 signing Paul Turner has joined the Titans rehab group as he continues to work to be ready for pre-season training.

"Paul has come into the Titans bubble and he will commence his rehab running program this week," Hoare said.

"He is now 12 weeks post his shoulder posterior labral stabilisation operation.

"The physio team of Sam Madden and Lindsey Self will work extensively with Paul in these early stages of rehab and the goal will be to have Paul available for full pre-season training."
