CHRISTIAN Salem has been forced to the sidelines with a hamstring injury.
Salem was unable to finish Sunday’s match against Fremantle following some tightness, with the club’s High Performance Manager Selwyn Griffith providing an update on the defender.
“Christian came to the bench after feeling his hamstring cramp in the third period after accelerating,” Griffith said.
“He wasn't able to return to the field due to a loss of strength.
“Scans have shown that he does have a low-grade hamstring strain, so he'll miss this week and we’ll continue to progress him through hamstring reconditioning protocols.”
Expected Return : 3 - 4 weeks

Early prognosis
Guelfi will miss up to a month after suffering a hamstring strain against Adelaide last weekend, but the news is better for Jye Caldwell, who has pulled up well from a head knock and will be available to face St Kilda. Having missed the past 10 weeks with a calf injury, Parish will face a fitness test this week to determine his availability and could make his long-awaited return against the Saints. – Michael Rogers

PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Tom AtkinsBackTestToby ConwayFootSeasonMitch EdwardsBackSeasonCam GuthrieAchilles3 weeksTom HawkinsFoot3-4 weeksOli WiltshirePelvis1 weekUpdated: July 23, 2024
Early prognosis
Atkins will be tested after he was a late withdrawal against the Bulldogs, but he is the only addition to the injury list. Edwards' season is over after the club opted for a conservative management of the young ruck's troublesome back. Guthrie and Hawkins are still progressing through their recoveries but are at least three weeks away. – Michael Rogers

Early prognosis
The Giants have ruled Cumming out for the remainder of the home and away season, continuing a wretched run of injury luck for the wing. The club could be bolstered by the return of Coniglio and Taylor this weekend, though, but Kelly is still the best part of a month away. – Riley Beveridge

Early prognosis
Wingard is still at least a week away from returning from a calf strain, while mid-season recruit Scaife will push to be available after fracturing his finger at training. Bennetts dislocated his shoulder in the VFL on the weekend and is meeting specialists this week to determine the next course of action. – Josh Gabelich

Early prognosis
Salem was unable to finish the match against Fremantle following some hamstring tightness, with subsequent scans showing a low-grade strain which will sideline him for 3-4 weeks. Tholstrup suffered delayed concussion symptoms after a head knock against the Dockers and has entered the League's protocols. Brown didn't play at any level due to ongoing knee soreness and the Demons will continue to assess the veteran before making a call on his return. Adams (lung) copped a knock in the VFL game and suffered some internal bruising that requires him to have a week off contact. In positive news, Gawn could return to face the Giants if he makes it through main training this week, while Lachie Hunter (calf) will return at VFL level. - Alison O'Connor

Adelaide could have a host of players available for this weekend’s game against Hawthorn.
Midfielder Matt Crouch is aiming to return to football in the near future after responding favourably to rehabilitation from mid-season shoulder surgery.
Crouch will have a surgical review this week and if cleared, can resume contact training and push for selection.
“In some good news, Matt is preparing to return to play sooner than expected which is a credit to him and the rehabilitation team to have him in this position,” High Performance Manager Darren Burgess said.
“The shoulder surgery was a success and he has progressed faster than initially anticipated.
“Matt has continued running while in rehab and if he is given surgical clearance, can resume contact training and work towards being available in coming weeks which is a welcome boost for the team.”
