Broncos Star Reece Walsh Uses Medical Scooter at Training Amid Injury Recovery
Brisbane Broncos fullback Reece Walsh arrived at Friday's training session using a medical scooter, raising initial concerns among fans and media. However, coach Michael Maguire downplayed the severity of the situation, explaining that Walsh is recovering from a foot laceration sustained during a home gardening accident. The injury required stitches, and doctors prescribed the scooter to minimize pressure on the foot and accelerate healing. Maguire confirmed that Walsh is expected to return to running by Monday. Walsh is currently sidelined for four to six weeks due to a separate facial fracture but aims to return by Round 10 against Manly on May 9. This timeline would allow him to potentially compete for a spot in the State of Origin series. During the training session, former NRL star and boxing champion Anthony Mundine also visited the team to support a charitable cause involving a terminally ill child. Mundine expressed strong confidence in the Broncos' ability to defend their title, provided key players like Walsh return to full fitness.
