The star midfielder will miss next week’s match against St Kilda after being placed into concussion protocols.

Immediately following last night’s fixture against Essendon, Tom Liberatore reported to the Bulldogs’ medical team with no concussion symptoms and passed a head injury assessment, conducted as per AFL protocols.

Tom remains without concussion symptoms this morning. However, given the concerning nature of in-game footage during the final minutes that show Tom falling to the ground, the Club’s medical team has subsequently reached a decision to place him in concussion protocols.

This decision has been taken with an abundance of caution, with Tom’s health and wellbeing the absolute priority.

As a result, Tom will miss Thursday’s match against St Kilda and will continue to be monitored.
