A source close to Ugle-Hagan, who didn’t want to be quoted because of the personal nature of the situation, said the star forward had been dealing with personal issues and that the club was supporting him.
The Bulldogs were contacted for comment and said they were likely to provide an update on the record in the coming days.
Ugle-Hagan has kicked 103 goals in his first four seasons at AFL level, including a career-high 43 in 2023.
Ugle-Hagan went goalless in his last two games of last season, including a four-disposal performance in the elimination final loss to Hawthorn, when he kicked just one behind.
He signed a two-year contract extension in May of last year, keeping him at the Kennel until the end of 2026.
