Dolphins forward Tom Gilbert has suffered a major setback in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament after a blood clot prevented him going under the knife. The 23-year-old ruptured his ACL in February’s NRL pre-season trial against the Warriors. The team flew home the next day, with Gilbert developing a blood clot in his calf that later transferred to his lung. He has since recovered, but the development led to his surgery being postponed.
“I can tell you what we know, and what we know is there’s no definitive conclusion about when the operation’s going to be,” Bennett said after Sunday’s season-opening defeat to North Queensland. “He did have a blood clot and it’s been resolved. There’s an ongoing examination with the doctor and we don’t have a definitive answer about what’s going to happen. “We’re not going to speculate. He was never going to play this season anyway and no one was rushing around to get him an operation.
