Sydney are preparing for Marcus Bontempelli’s best, giving no thought to the Western Bulldogs superstar being a late withdrawal.
Bontempelli has been under an injury cloud since the Bulldogs’ “traumatic” night at Geelong last Friday.
The Bulldogs captain was on light duties during the club’s main training session at Whitten Oval on Tuesday.
Bontempelli dealt with knee soreness during the 75-point belting to the Cats, a game where they lost star forward Sam Darcy to a season-ending ACL rupture.
