BRISBANE defender Kate Lutkins is available for selection this week, after rupturing her ACL in round one last season. Should she make her return in the Lions' match against Essendon on Sunday it will be just 266 days on the sidelines for the star.
"It’s been an extraordinary recovery from Kate and a testament to her diligence and professionalism throughout the rehab process," Brisbane high performance manager Matthew Green said.
"Being in the late stages of her career and Kate’s desire to play every perceivable game possible, we’re pleased to see Kate return to full fitness at this stage of the season."
Lutkins is an inaugural Lion who has played 42 career games, including the 2021 premiership where she won the Best on Ground medal.
Inactive players are not included, as they have already been replaced in the team's squad
