PlayerInjuryEstimated Return Matt Crouch Hip/abdominal Test Tom Doedee Knee Season Sam Jacobs Knee Test Tom Lynch Hamstring Test Updated: Tuesday, May 28Early prognosis
Crouch and Lynch will have to complete main training on Thursday to be considered for Saturday night's encounter with Melbourne in Darwin. Crouch has missed the past two games with a small muscle tear in the abdominal area near his hip, while Lynch had a low-grade hamstring strain that forced him to miss last week's 12-point loss to West Coast. Jacobs will also be assessed this week to see if he will play his first game since round two. The experienced ruckman is likely to return through the SANFL having had surgery to his right knee in April. - Lee Gaskin

Wells has again been cruelled by a long-term injury, and there's a possibility Langdon could also be set for a lengthy stint on the sidelines. However, the Pies are hopeful they will regain stars De Goey, Cox and Moore for the clash with Fremantle at the MCG on Saturday. They will also have the option of bringing back Varcoe, but will be without Adams and Elliott for at least another fortnight. Tyler Brown, Appleby and Tohill are nearing returns, but Murphy's recovery has been slow and Kellysuffered a hamstring tendon injury in the VFL. The season seems over for veteran Dunn after a second anterior cruciate ligament rupture in nine months. - Ben Collins

PlayerInjuryEstimated Return Joe Daniher Groin Season Sam Draper Knee Season Orazio Fantasia Quad 1-2 weeks Kobe Mutch Hamstring 3-5 weeks Dylan Shiel Hamstring Test Devon Smith Knee Season James Stewart Groin 1-2 weeks Jake Stringer Hamstring 2-3 weeks Updated: Tuesday, May 28Early prognosis
Stringer has added to the Bombers' injury woes, and while Shielhas not yet been ruled out of playing against Carlton on Sunday, Essendon will play that conservatively with the star midfielder. Fantasia is due back after the Bombers' round 12 bye and his return can't come quick enough. - Callum Twomey

Taberner going down on the same weekend as Darcy thins the big man stocks, with Sandilands still yet to have a timeframe to return. Bennell should be back in his latest bid to save his career for Peel against West Perth this Saturday, provided he gets through training. - Travis King

Dangerfield has ditched the crutches after spraining his ankle in the win over the Western Bulldogs. The superstar will need to impress at Wednesday's main training to put his name up for selection, along with Atkins and Stanley who missed last week. Menegola was due to go under the knife on Tuesday to clean out cartilage in his knee. Cockatoo continues to build his running base, while Cunico's rehabilitation has progressed to being focusing on mobility. Jarvis missed Sunday's VFL win with a calf strain, while Okunbor has been having groin trouble in recent times. - Mitch Cleary

Williams isn't likely to face Melbourne on Sunday but Coniglioand Corr should be right for the MCG clash. Both will hit the track on Wednesday to confirm their availability. Langdoncouldn't train last week after only one game back, so he could miss again. - Adam Curley

McEvoy is the major news here. His right ankle got caught under him in a Nathan Broad tackle and he tried to return in the second quarter, but was done for the day by half-time. McEvoy sustained a syndesmosis sprain and could be out for a significant time. Ex-Saint Minchington has suffered a second hamstring setback this year. Frawley, Smith and Wingard are all a chance to return against Port Adelaide on Saturday. The Hawks completed only a light training session on Tuesday, but Wingard moved well and remained on the ground for longer than most of his teammates to complete extra goalkicking practice. - Marc McGowan
