Check out the injury updates from the remaining finals clubs.

PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN
 Noah Answerth  Shoulder  Season
 Will Ashcroft  Knee  Season
 Kai Lohmann  Collarbone  Season
 James Madden  Shoulder  Season
 Carter Michael  Quad  Season
 Jack Payne  Ankle  Test
Updated: September 26, 2023

Early prognosis

Key defender Payne remains touch and go for the Grand Final after completing a light session to test out his ankle on Tuesday. Lincoln McCarthy had his calf strapped but is in no doubt to play after a strong finals series. Jack Gunston is available and would add valuable experience but Chris Fagan appears unlikely to change a winning formula. - Brandon Cohen

PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN
 Taylor Adams  Hamstring  Test
 Ash Johnson  Arm  Season
 Will Kelly  Ankle  Season
 Daniel McStay  Knee  Season
Updated: September 26, 2023

Early prognosis

Adams will need to prove his fitness on Thursday after missing the preliminary final with a hamstring strain. The vice-captain completed a light session on Tuesday and will need to be medically cleared later this week. McStay won’t be available after suffering a medial collateral ligament strain in the one-point win over Greater Western Sydney. - Josh Gabelich
