Schoenberg is ahead of schedule in his return from Achilles tendon surgery and on track to play managed minutes in the SANFL next week. – Nathan Schmook

Early prognosis

Good news for the Lions with co-captain Lachie Neale (ankle) and dynamic forward Zac Bailey (ankle) both given the green light to play on Thursday night against Melbourne.

Early prognosis

Frederick has a "very low-grade" hamstring strain that the club hopes won't keep him sidelined beyond this week.

Early prognosis

Scans cleared Boak of major injury after his heavy collision during the second quarter of Friday night's win over Essendon, but the veteran will still need to be assessed throughout the week to determine his availability to face Fremantle. Ollie Wines has recovered from a hamstring injury after missing one match, while Sam Powell-Pepper is available after his suspension. - Michael Whiting

Early prognosis

Prestia's recovery time has been slashed from the expected five weeks to just three. Both Dow and McAuliffe tweaked their ankles during the loss to St Kilda, and will be tests to face West Coast, with Grimes in the same boat after failing to get up last week. The rehab timelines for Balta, Lynch, Bauer and Trezise remain unchanged. Liam Baker is available after serving a one-game suspension. – Sarah Black

Early prognosis

Howard is set to be available this weekend after missing the start of the season due to a hamstring strain. Dow is closing in on a return to full fitness after a pre-season knee injury. Clark is still dealing with a lingering calf issue. - Josh Gabelich

Early prognosis

With no fresh injuries from the win over West Coast, the Swans head into the bye in reasonably good health. Parker could be back for the game against Gold Coast in round six, while Sheldrick should also be back to full fitness by then. Rampe will miss the Suns game but should be ready to face the Hawks in round seven or the Giants the week after. - Martin Smith

Early prognosis

Bailey Smith will tick off a big milestone this week when he runs for the first time on the AlterG treadmill, after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament at training in December. Lachie Smith suffered a minor knee injury in training over the weekend with the VFL squad and will be sidelined for at least a fortnight. - Josh Gabelich
