Eagles Skipper Luke Shuey has been plagued by injuries but has certainly not skimped out on his recovery.

The 32-year-old reveals he’s recently built a personal sauna at his house to aid in his recovery and help him return to the field as soon as possible.

Shuey told Adam Papalia on WWOS saunas have a great reputation amongst older players around the league.

“They’re the small things… the things that might make one per cent difference to your body,” said the Skipper.

Shuey will return from a hamstring injury to lead West Coast against Port Adelaide this week but will be on a minutes restriction.

“I’d say I probably won’t be going anywhere near the 90-100 minutes that I was playing in the first few rounds… but I’ll say my role won’t change”
