Ex-Giant Hampton looks set to miss multiple matches with his ankle injury from the weekend, but Knight may replace him after being out for the past fortnight. Smith ended Saturday's win over the Brisbane Lions on the bench and must pass a fitness test to play against Fremantle, as Menzel will also need to do after spending last week on the sidelines. - Marc McGowan

Cutler and McStay are both expected to resume playing, although at senior or reserves level is debatable. Young full-back Skinner is also in line to play his first game since rupturing his ACL last July. - Michael Whiting

Carlton’s worst fears were realised on Monday when scans revealed veteran defender Rowe had ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during last Sunday’s match against Fremantle and will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Fellow veteran Thomas was concussed and battled blurred vision after a clash with teammate Alex Silvagni late in the second quarter and faces a test. - Howard Kotton

Aish will be sidelined for at least a fortnight after a head clash against Hawthorn. Reid is a huge out for up to a month with a quad injury and Varcoe is still at least a week away after suffering a setback at training. Ben Sinclair is still eyeing a return in the second half of the year. - Ben Collins

The Bombers are confident key pair Hurley (neck) and Hooker (corked thigh) will be available to take on Richmond on Saturday night despite minor concerns out of Sunday’s win over West Coast. Francis is also expected to be available after missing last week with a groin problem, but Ambrose has been ruled out of contention as he continues to recover from a quad injury. He should be fit to face the Giants in round 11. - Callum Twomey

Ballantyne's setback is to the same hamstring he needed surgery on in March but lower down the muscle. It is only a minor issue but the 29-year-old goalsneak is unlikely to be seen at AFL level before round 14 at the earliest. Bennell is taking part in on-field training as he aims to return from his latest calf setback. Sandilands has hamstring tightness and might only miss a game. - Travis King

A number of the players listed as a 'test' are expected to play this weekend. Swallow and Rosa should return in the seniors, while Hanley, McKenzie and Lonergan are expected to come back through the NEAFL. Rischitelli has resumed full training after overcoming his ACL injury and is a few weeks away from making a playing return. - Michael Whiting

Johnson's knee issues have flared again, while Lobb hurt his groin in round eight against Collingwood and received a knock to the same area against Richmond last week, so both will miss this week's game against West Coast. Mzungu started training last week, while Haynes is also running and both are slightly ahead of schedule. - Adam Curley

Puopolo and Gunston were hobbling by the end of the Collingwood game last week, but both took part in Hawthorn’s main training session on Tuesday and are available for the clash with the Sydney Swans on Friday night. Brand is available after missing last week because of illness, however O’Brien still needs to pass a fitness test after completing most, but not all of the session. Fitzpatrick is still yet to satisfy the concussion protocol and will miss again. Better news for the Hawks is that Birchall resumes ball work later this week and is rated a chance to return on Thursday week for the away game against Port Adelaide. - Ashley Browne

Ruckman Gawn has been targeting a round 12 return as he continues his recovery from a serious hamstring injury, but the club is less optimistic, suggesting a round 14 return is more likely. Gawn is ahead of schedule and has been stepping up his running every week. Spencer is further advanced and could return in a fortnight after shoulder surgery. The Demons aren't placing a timeline on Brayshaw's return to the field after he suffered his fourth concussion in 12 months a fortnight ago. The young midfielder will play when he is ready. Meanwhile, vandenBerg has had another setback with his troublesome heel and McKenna has had surgery on his hamstring, putting his season in jeopardy. - Ben Guthrie

Scans revealed no damage to Ben Cunnington's sore right knee after he played out the victory over Melbourne on Sunday. The Roos look certain to regain Trent Dumont, who missed a week with lingering concussion symptoms. They could also welcome back Anderson, but he will have to pass a fitness test. There was disappointment for teenage key forward McKay, who had a setback in his recovery from a hip/groin complaint and could spend another month out. - Marc McGowan

Port Adelaide has a very healthy list, with only Krakouer, Snelling and Wingard ruled out for this week’s action. Snelling was added to the injury list after suffering an ankle injury at SANFL level last week, but he was cleared of damage to his jaw. Wingard suffered his calf injury on Tuesday at training and the club said they will take a "no risk approach". - Callum Twomey

Caddy pulled up sore after round eight and was a late withdrawal against GWS with groin soreness, but he is expected to be passed fit this week. Conca was given an initial timeframe of 10 weeks to recover from his foot injury, but that is now indefinite. The Tigers still have five players on their long-term injury list but will need to remove Broad shortly if he plays in the VFL in the next fortnight. - Nathan Schmook

Newnes was concussed in a fierce clash with Sydney's Callum Mills in the first quarter last Saturday but coach Alan Richardson was confident the wingman would return for the round 10 game against the Western Bulldogs. Wright was concussed in the VFL and will be a test, while rookie forward Rohan Marshall was rested last weekend but trained on Tuesday. - Dinny Navaratnam

Jack did some work on Monday and will train on Wednesday in a bid to face the Hawks, but McVeigh's hamstring and Naismith's knee will keep them out until after the Swans' bye in round 11. Robinson can't take a trick and was injured in the NEAFL game against Sydney University last week, in what was just his second game back from a broken collarbone. - Adam Curley

Lycett was back with the main training group on Tuesday and will soon begin competitive work. Allen is in a moon boot and being treated cautiously after suffering a stress reaction in his foot. Tunbridge has started contact work after being introduced into main training last week and is aiming to make his comeback from a hybrid-LARS knee reconstruction for East Perth by round 14 of the AFL. - Travis King

Stringer is a chance to return from a medial knee strain for Saturday's clash with St Kilda. Crameri's troublesome hip will keep him sidelined for up to another month after undergoing surgery on Monday. - Ryan Davidson
