Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

McAdam rolled his left ankle in the final quarter against North Melbourne and scans have cleared the forward of serious damage.

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Darcy Gardiner	Lungs	3 weeks
Jarryd Lyons	Ribs	Test
Dayne Zorko	Hamstring	Test
Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

Lyons was cleared of any fracture to his ribs and is expected to face the Western Bulldogs, but any injury in that area usually has some question marks. Zorko was close to playing Melbourne and is expected to be fine. – Michael Whiting

Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

Where to start for the Blues? Boyd is facing an uphill battle to return this season, while youngsters Parks and Philp have both been ruled out for the year. Cerra, Fogarty, Martin and Owies are all a chance to return at some level this weekend, though. Weitering is one more week away. McGovern and Pittonet are finally closing on returns. – Riley Beveridge

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Jordan De Goey	Personal leave	Test
Brodie Grundy	Knee	4 weeks
Nathan Kreuger	Shoulder	Season
Reef McInnes	Shoulder	Season
Tom Wilson	Back	Season
Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

De Goey returned to training on Tuesday afternoon and is expected to be available for selection if completes Thursday’s main training session. The star midfielder-forward hasn’t played since before the mid-season bye. Grundy is understood to still be at least a few weeks away with a round 18 return a possibility, but potentially the week after. – Josh Gabelich

Tom Cutler	Quad	4 weeks
Michael Hurley	Hip	Indefinite
Andrew McGrath	Adductor	1 week
Devon Smith	Knee	Indefinite
James Stewart	Foot	TBC
Tex Wanganeen	Foot/Ankle	Season
Updated: June 29, 2022

Early prognosis

Parish is set to return from his calf injury, although the Bombers are without McGrath for another week. Cutler hurt his quad in the VFL and will miss a month, while Wanganeen is out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery following foot/ankle soreness. - Dejan Kalinic

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN

Jye Amiss	Kidney	Inactive
Heath Chapman	Hamstring	1 week
Nathan O'Driscoll	Foot	2-3 weeks
Sam Switkowski	Back	TBC
Josh Treacy	Ankle	Test
Darcy Tucker	Finger	TBC
Michael Walters	Calf	Test
Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

Tucker will require surgery for a fractured finger, with a timeframe for his recovery to be known after surgery. After fears Treacy had suffered a high-grade injury, the key forward has made a rapid recovery and could even be available this week. Scans have cleared O'Driscoll to progress into the next stage of his rehab. Chapman will be unavailable for a fifth week with a hamstring injury. – Nathan Schmook

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Jon Ceglar	Foot	TBC
Patrick Dangerfield	Calf	Test
Flynn Kroeger	Wrist	TBC
Brandan Parfitt	Hand	1 week
Gary Rohan	Illness	Test
Sam Simpson	Concussion	TBC
Tom Stewart	Suspension	Round 20
James Willis	Knee	TBC
Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

Dangerfield might need another week to prove his fitness. The Brownlow medallist hasn't been sighted since round 10, undergoing a conditioning block to deal with a calf issue. Rohan was a late withdrawal from the game against Richmond due to sickness but the forward has returned to the main group and is a chance to face North Melbourne. Recruit Ceglar is closing in on a return after a frustrating season to date, while Parfitt is also set to miss another game with a hand injury. – Josh Gabelich

Connor Budarick	Hamstring	Test
Alex Davies	Knee	3 weeks

Ben King	Knee	Season
Jack Lukosius	Knee	Test
Wil Powell	Ankle	Season
Bodhi Uwland	Back	Indefinite
Lachie Weller	Knee	Season
Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

Lukosius will do the club's main training session on Wednesday with the hope of playing for the first time since round eight this weekend. Budarick will also have to get through the main session but is expected to be fine after missing last weekend. Davies came off late in Sunday's loss to Port Adelaide, but his medial collateral ligament injury is thankfully on the minor side. – Michael Whiting

Harry Perryman	Ribs	Indefinite
Conor Stone	Hamstring	2-3 weeks
Updated: June 28, 2022

Seamus Mitchell	Ankle	Season
Chad Wingard	Calf	Test
Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

Gunston, Wingard and Day are all on track to be available for Sunday’s game against Greater Western Sydney but will need to prove their fitness at Thursday’s main training session. Day has recovered and exited health and safety protocols. Frost is still sidelined with the knee injury he suffered against Fremantle prior to the mid-season bye. McEvoy is making progress with his return from a neck injury. – Josh Gabelich

Max Gawn	Ankle	1-2 weeks
Blake Howes	Foot	2-4 weeks
Tom McDonald	Ankle	10-12 weeks
Joel Smith	Ankle	2-4 weeks
Daniel Turner	Face	2-3 weeks
Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

The Demons expect Gawn to miss at least another week, but Howes, Smith and Turner are all closing on returns. Jake Melksham (hand) and Fraser Rosman (hamstring) made their comebacks through the VFL last week. – Riley Beveridge

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Miller Bergman	Shoulder	Season
Charlie Comben	Leg	1-2 weeks
Ben Cunnington	Testicular cancer	Indefinite
Jason Horne-Francis	Suspension	Round 17
Will Phillips	Illness	Season
Jared Polec	Foot	2-3 weeks
Bailey Scott	Hip	2-3 weeks
Jack Ziebell	Face	1-2 weeks
Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

The Kangaroos have ruled Phillips out for the remainder of the season, a frustrating blow for the youngster given he will not play senior football this year. The club's mature-aged recruit Kallan Dawson (foot) returned through the VFL last Sunday and could make his AFL debut in the coming weeks, while Lachie Young (suspension) will be available this weekend. Scott will miss the next fortnight, while Cunnington has suffered a calf setback in his return from a secondary diagnosis of testicular cancer. – Riley Beveridge

Zak Butters	Knee	Test
Trent Dumont	Calf	1-2 weeks
Ollie Lord	Hamstring	TBC
Scott Lycett	Shoulder	Test
Jake Pasini	Knee	Season
Josh Sinn	Groin	3-4 weeks
Brynn Teakle	Collarbone	5-6 weeks
Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

Bonner will have surgery this week for a fractured cheekbone and eye socket. Butters could return this week if he proves he has recovered from a sprained medial ligament in his left knee. Lycett has made a rapid recovery after being listed as up to five weeks away just last week. Darcy Byrne-Jones and Tom Clurey will both clear health and safety protocols this week. – Nathan Schmook

PLAYER
Noah Balta	Hamstring	2-3 weeks
Trent Cotchin	Clavicle	2-4 weeks
Kane Lambert	Hip	Test
Dion Prestia	Concussion	1 week
Updated: June 29, 2022

Early prognosis

Prestia has entered concussion protocols but is progressing well, with the club hopeful he'll be right for next week. Lambert remains a week-to-week proposition due to his chronic hip injury, and the Tigers have a six-day break between rounds 16 and 17. Cotchin has returned to non-contact training, but his collarbone still needs time to heal. Balta is more likely to return in round 18 than 17. – Sarah Black

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Jack Bytel	Foot	1 week
Nick Coffield	ACL	Season
Jarryn Geary	Shoulder	1 week
Dan Hannebery	Calf	TBC
Jack Hayes	Knee	Season
Daniel McKenzie	Concussion	1 week
Mitch Owens	Concussion	TBC
Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

McKenzie is set to miss another week after hurting his calf at training late last week ahead of his return game against Sydney. The wingman has now missed the past fortnight after suffering a concussion against Brisbane in round 13. Owens is a chance to be available but still needs to pass concussion protocols. Former skipper Geary is still at least another week away from being available for senior selection. – Josh Gabelich

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Josh Kennedy	Hamstring	4-6 weeks
Sam Naismith	Knee	Season
Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

Kennedy is due to return to modified drills this week before ramping up his running, eventually to sprinting, over the next month. He made a comeback of sorts at the weekend – as the Swans midfield coach as COVID-19 absences hit the football department hard. – Michael Whiting

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Oscar Allen	Foot	Inactive
Campbell Chesser	Ankle	Inactive
Tom Cole	Ankle	Inactive
Hugh Dixon	Ankle	Test
Luke Edwards	Groin	Inactive
Tom Joyce	Ankle	TBC
Zac Langdon	Ankle	1-2 weeks
Jeremy McGovern	Ribs	TBC
Dom Sheed	Shins	TBC
Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

McGovern's rib injury was more serious than first reported, with coach Adam Simpson hinting that the star defender had also suffered damage to a lung. No decision has been made on his availability for the rest of the season. Sheed requires more assessment after missing last week, with the club reporting he had experienced shin soreness. – Nathan Schmook

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Josh Bruce	Hamstring	1-2 weeks
Taylor Duryea	Knee	4-6 weeks
Tim English	Concussion	1 week
Stefan Martin	Shoulder	TBC
Charlie Parker	Hamstring	3-5 weeks
Ed Richards	Concussion	1 week
Bailey Smith	Suspension	Round 18
Laitham Vandermeer	Hamstring	1-2 weeks
Mitch Wallis	Foot	Season
Updated: June 28, 2022

Early prognosis

English and Richards will miss this week’s trip to Brisbane with concussion while Bruce had a minor setback in his recovery from his knee injury with a hamstring issue and is still a week or two away. The news wasn’t good for Wallis, who will undergo surgery on a nagging foot injury this week. It is set to be a 3-4 month recovery timeframe for the Dogs veteran and will see him miss the remainder of 2022. - Callum Twomey
