SCANS on Jesse Hogan's foot have cleared the Melbourne forward of injury but he remains in doubt for this Saturday's NAB Challenge game against the Western Bulldogs in Ballarat.

The 20-year-old sent a scare through the Demons' camp when an opponent stood on his foot late in Thursday night's NAB Challenge game against Fremantle.

He then missed training on Monday as the club held him back until his foot was properly assessed to ensure there were no underlying issues.

However football manager Josh Mahoney said the club was pleased with the results.

"He had scans this morning which cleared him of any significant injury and he will be assessed to be available to play this week," Mahoney told AFL.com.au.

The club will continue to monitor his progress during the week to determine his availability for Saturday's game.

Hogan played just one NAB Challenge game and one VFL game in 2014 after experiencing back issues. He is yet to make his senior AFL debut.

He performed well against Fremantle, kicking one goal and showing enough promise to earn praise from Melbourne coach Paul Roos.

"What I liked about Jesse’s game was when he was prepared to stand under the high ball and bring the ball to ground," Roos said.

Mahoney said the club received no other injuries from the game. Two players subbed out of the game after receiving head knocks, Neville Jetta and Ben Newton, were able to train on Monday.

The Demons have already lost Christian Petracca, their first choice in the 2014 NAB AFL Draft and No.2 overall, after he underwent a knee reconstruction to fix an ACL injury suffered at training.
