AFL: Cox still no certainty to return

West Coast coach JOHN WORSFOLD is remaining tight-lipped over whether All-Australian
ruckman DEAN COX will make his long-awaited return to AFL this Saturday.

The high-flying Eagles take on 12th-placed Kangaroos at Subiaco Oval this weekend.

Although COX told Southern Cross Radio this morning that he is fit to play, WORSFOLD
says he must get through this afternoon's closed training session unscathed.

WORSFOLD says COX must prove to the Eagles match committee that he's ready to go and
most importantly receive the thumbs-up from the medical staff.

COX has not played for the Eagles since their round 13 loss to the Western Bulldogs
and was a chance to return last week against St Kilda, before the club decided to rest
him.
