David Mackay	Hamstring	Test
Wayne Milera	Knee	Season
Daniel Talia	Foot	1-2 weeks
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

Talia will undergo surgery on his left foot after scans revealed inflammation in a tendon and the injury didn't respond to conservative rehabilitation. The Crows hope he can play a meaningful role in the second half of the season. Crouch is ready to resume running, but a return-to-play date is not in place. Mackay experienced hamstring tightness and will undergo a fitness test this week. Gollant and Hinge underwent successful surgery last week and are both recovering.

Oscar McInerney	Ankle	Test
Dan McStay	Knee	1 week
Cam Rayner	Knee	Season
Archie Smith	Achilles/shoulder	TBC
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

The Lions are likely to have a couple of familiar faces available to play the Western Bulldogs on Saturday with Berry and Darcy Gardiner expected to be fit. McInerney is still a question mark with his ankle injury but is improving and will be given every chance. - Michael Whiting

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN

Brodie Kemp	Foot	4-6 weeks
Caleb Marchbank	Calf	Test
Jack Martin	Knee	5 weeks
Nic Newman	Knee	4-5 weeks
Will Setterfield	Illness	Test
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

The Blues should welcome Setterfield (illness) back into the fold this week, after he was a late withdrawal on Sunday due to suffering from gastro. Mitch McGovern (back) and Sam Philp (hip) both made successful returns to action via the VFL last week, while Marchbank (calf) should play in a VFL practice match this weekend. First-year youngster Carroll (thumb) will miss a month, while Cuningham (concussion) enters the AFL's 12-day protocol after a head knock last Saturday. - Riley Beveridge

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Trent Bianco	Knee	4-6 weeks
Jamie Elliott	Leg	8-12 weeks
Nathan Murphy	Concussion	1 week
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

Murphy will sit out the mandatory week after sustaining concussion in the VFL practice match against Richmond. Elliott has started his rehabilitation following surgery, while Bianco is on medication to reduce swelling in his knee. Chris Mayne will be fit to tackle Greater Western Sydney after being cleared of any damage to his jaw in a big hit against Brisbane. - Mitch Cleary

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Patrick Ambrose	Foot	TBC
Jye Caldwell	Hamstring	5-7 weeks
Dylan Clarke	Ankle	1-2 weeks
Sam Draper	Ankle	7-9 weeks
Dyson Heppell	Back	Test
Michael Hurley	Hip	Indefinite
Mason Redman	Hamstring	Test
Dylan Shiel	Knee	16 weeks
James Stewart	Hamstring	3-4 weeks
Irving Mosquito	Knee	5-6 months
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

The main concern to come from Essendon's drubbing of St Kilda was Redman, who was subbed out with a hamstring injury. Scans have shown he did not suffer a tear but only tightness, but there is doubt whether he will be available for the trip to Sydney. Heppell has to get through training but has been improving with his back complaint. Shiel has opted to have surgery on his knee and is now unlikely to play again in 2021. – Callum Twomey

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Bailey Banfield	Ankle	Test
Brett Bewley	Groin	3 weeks
Mitch Crowden	Calf	Test
Nat Fyfe	Concussion	Test

Alex Pearce	Knee	4-5 weeks
Lachie Schulz	Concussion	1 week
Darcy Tucker	Hamstring	1 week
Luke Valente	Soreness	Test
Brandon Walker	Concussion	1 week
Hayden Young	Hamstring	TBA
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

Young is set for an extended stint on the sidelines with a "high grade" hamstring injury. Fyfe returned to running late last week and was training with the main group on Tuesday. He appears on track to be cleared to face Hawthorn on Sunday once he has completed his mandatory concussion protocols. Lobb is training away from the main group without a knee brace and recovering quicker than expected. Small forward Schultz will miss due to concussion protocols. – Nathan Schmook 

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Jeremy Cameron	Hamstring	Test
Patrick Dangerfield	Suspension	Round 5
Francis Evans	Ankle	TBC
Shaun Higgins	Hamstring	TBC
Sam Menegola	Shoulder	Test
Esava Ratugolea	Fractured leg	TBC
Gary Rohan	Suspension	Round 5
Sam Simpson	Quad	TBC
Cooper Stephens	Ankle	2-3 weeks
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

Cameron is pushing to play but it appears, given the dialogue out of the Cats, he may have to wait at least one more week to make his Geelong debut. Evans suffered a nasty ankle injury in the win over Hawthorn, while Higgins was unable to finish the match with a hamstring setback. Simpson has recovered from post-season shoulder surgery but is now battling a quad complaint, while Ratugolea is still out of action. However, Menegola is expected to return. - Mitch Cleary

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Connor Budarick	Knee	Season
Matt Conroy	Knee	Season

Elijah Hollands	Knee	TBC
Matt Rowell	Knee	TBC
Zac Smith	Knee	3-4 weeks
Jacob Townsend	Face	5-6 weeks
Rory Thompson	Knee	Season
Jarrod Witts	Knee	Season
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

Another hammer blow for the Suns with confirmation of co-captain Witts rupturing his ACL. Smith is steadily improving from his PCL injury but is still another three to four weeks away, while Day (meniscus) and Budarick (ACL) both underwent surgery last week. - Michael Whiting

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Stephen Coniglio	Ankle	8-10 weeks
Brent Daniels	Ankle	Test

Daniel Lloyd	Quad	5-7 weeks
Harry Perryman	Glandular fever	2 weeks
Braydon Preuss	Shoulder	9-13 weeks
Sam Reid	Suspension	1 week
Lachie Whitfield	Liver	3-4 weeks
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

A busy week in the medical room for the Giants. Coniglio will undergo surgery on the ankle injured in a tackle against Melbourne, Davis has a significant injury in his calf, and de Boer has ruptured a tendon in his hamstring. All will be sidelined for long periods. Tests showed Perryman’s illness that kept him out of the Melbourne game was due to glandular fever. Daniels had to have his ankle strapped up to get through the same game, and will face a test this week. In better news, Jesse Hogan has recovered from a quad injury and resumed full training.  - Martin Pegan

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Keegan Brooksby	Ankle	Test
Will Day	Ankle	Indefinite
Denver Grainger-Barras	Knee	2-4 weeks
Jack Gunston	Back	2-4 weeks
Seamus Mitchell	Ankle	Indefinite
Jon Patton	Club investigation	Indefinite
James Sicily	Knee	Indefinite
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

Day will go under the knife to repair a fractured ankle suffered in the round two loss to Richmond. Grainger-Barras will be on light duties for a couple of weeks after sustaining bone bruising in his knee in a recent VFL practice match. - Mitch Cleary.

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Ben Brown	Knee	Test
James Harmes	Wrist	3 weeks
Marty Hore	Knee	Season
Aaron Nietschke	Knee	Season
Sam Weideman	Leg	Test
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

The good news keeps coming at the Demons. Both Brown (knee) and Weideman (leg) will prove their fitness through a VFL practice match on Saturday and are likely to return to the senior fold quicker than expected. Harmes (wrist) is also making a speedy recovery and should be back within a month. Mitch Brown (calf), Jay Lockhart (testicle) and Joel Smith (calf) are all on the cusp of a return after making it through an intraclub clash last weekend. - Riley Beveridge

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Jed Anderson	Ankle	Test
Aiden Bonar	Adductor	Test
Charlie Comben	Leg	Indefinite
Aidan Corr	Toe	2-4 weeks
Trent Dumont	Calf	1 week
Luke McDonald	Quad	Test
Flynn Perez	Knee	Season
Jared Polec	Hamstring	TBC
Robbie Tarrant	Kidney	10-14 weeks
Curtis Taylor	Concussion	Test
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

The injury list is stacking up at the Kangaroos. Bonar (adductor) should be fit this weekend, while McDonald (quad) could join him. But Dumont (calf) might be more of an outside chance to feature. Anderson (ankle) will also be touch-and-go, while Corr (toe) could miss up to a month with an infection. Taylor (concussion) should be OK, provided he clears all protocols, but don't expect to see Polec (hamstring) for quite some time. - Riley Beveridge

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Riley Bonner	Hamstring	4-6 weeks
Tyson Goldsack	Knee	4-6 weeks
Jake Pasini	Shoulder	11-12 weeks
Tom Rockliff	Concussion	1-2 weeks
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

Rockliff is the Power's only fresh injury after a head knock in the SANFL, requiring him to follow the AFL's mandatory concussion protocols and spend a 12-day period on the sidelines. Bonner is recovering well from his round one hamstring injury, while Pasini is in the early stages of his recovery after shoulder surgery. – Nathan Schmook

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Noah Cumberland	Knee	4-6 weeks
Callum Coleman-Jones	Suspension	Round five
Kamdyn McIntosh	Concussion	1-2 weeks
Dion Prestia	Hamstring	3-4 weeks
Ivan Soldo	Knee	3-4 months
Sydney Stack	Suspension	Round five
Nick Vlastuin	Knee	4-6 weeks
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

Prestia is set to miss multiple games with another hamstring injury out of last week's loss to Sydney, while McIntosh will also be unavailable for at least 12 days after his concussion. The news wasn't good for Vlastuin either, with follow-up scans revealing further damage and at least four more weeks out of the side. The club says Trent Cotchin has not suffered any new hamstring injury, but he will need to get through training to book his spot against Port Adelaide this week. – Callum Twomey

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Ryan Byrnes	Hamstring	Test
James Frawley	Hamstring	3-4 weeks
Jarryn Geary	Fractured leg	6-8 weeks
Jade Gresham	Achilles	Season
Dan Hannebery	Calf	4-8
Rowan Marshall	Foot	Available
Ben Paton	Broken leg	Season
Updated: Thursday, April 8

Early prognosis

Hannebery injured his 'good' calf at training on Tuesday and is headed for more time on the sidelines. After dealing with a calf injury since January, the veteran strained his other side. However, the club is hopeful he'll only miss four weeks despite a long list of soft tissue setbacks. Co-captain Geary will undergo more surgery after scans revealed a bone spur in his ankle after recent pain following a fractured leg. Marshall has been cleared to tackle West Coast after playing a half in a VFL practice match against Essendon last week, his first minutes of the season after a summer foot hotspot. Gresham has already gone under the knife to repair the Achilles he ruptured against Essendon and will be sidelined until 2022. Jimmy Webster has been cleared to return from concussion. - Mitch Cleary

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Robbie Fox	Finger	3-5 weeks
Sam Naismith	Knee	TBC
Ben Ronke	Knee	TBC
James Rowbottom	Knee	Test
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

Rowbottom is in line for a return to the unbeaten Swans if he can get through training on Tuesday night. In more exciting news for the Swans, ruckman Naismith will return to full training this week as he recovers from a torn ACL. Ronke is continuing to focus on running and building leg strength. - Martin Pegan

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Brendon Ah Chee	Hamstring	Test
Jarrod Cameron	Groin	1 week
Mark Hutchings	Knee	1 week
Luke Shuey	Hamstring	TBC
Daniel Venables	Concussion	TBC
Bailey Williams	Ankle	Test
Elliot Yeo	Groin	TBC
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

The Eagles will dive deep into the cause of Shuey's repeated soft tissue setbacks this year and come up with a long-term plan for the captain after back-to-back hamstring injuries. They are waiting on his most recent scan results after a fourth-quarter hamstring injury on Saturday night. Yeo is close to having a return to play plan after joining a light training run on Friday. Ruckman Bailey Williams will play managed minutes in the WAFL if he gets through training this week. Ah Chee was a late withdrawal against Port Adelaide with hamstring awareness and will have a light week on the track.  – Nathan Schmook   

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Hayden Crozier	Shoulder	1-2 weeks
Ryan Gardner	Shoulder	6-8 weeks
Mitch Hannan	Concussion	TBC
Toby McLean	Knee	8-10 weeks
Ed Richards	Ankle	4-6 weeks
Updated: Tuesday, April 6

Early prognosis

Gardner is set to miss up to two months after undergoing surgery for his opening-minute shoulder injury in the Good Friday win over North Melbourne. Hannan returned to the VFL after his groin injury but received a head knock and will be under concussion protocols. The good news for the Dogs is that Crozier is making strong progress from his AC joint injury and is considered a chance in the next one-to-two weeks. McLean, as the Dogs' long-term injury, is also stepping up his rehabilitation from his knee reconstruction.. – Callum Twomey
