West Coast could be without ruckman Nic Naitanui for the remainder of the home-and-away season, after suffering a reported syndesmosis strain in his ankle.

According to Foxfooty.com.au,ย Naitanui is touch-and-go for finals football, with the Eagles failing to rule out a long-term injury for the ruckman.

Naitanui has played three games so far this season, after returning in round 15 following a year on the sidelines following his second ACL injury.

On Sunday, Naitanui posted the following message on his Instagram page: "It hurts but it's OK, I'm used to it."
