Brad Williams will be out of action for a month after MRI scans revealed he had sustained only muscle damage to his right knee when dislocating it during Western Australia's Pura Cup victory over Tasmania.
Williams collapsed in agony during the ninth over of Tasmania's second innings on Tuesday and had to be assisted from the field. The tests showed Williams, 29, had a muscle tear behind his knee and extensive bruising.
Scott Meuleman has made a rapid recovery from a dislocated left shoulder, which occurred during the ING Cup loss to Tasmania on October 15, and will make his comeback for the Second XI against South Australia in a four-day match starting on Monday. Chris Rogers will also play in the game, his first since having surgery to correct a chronic hamstring complaint.
