This caught my eye :-
mid-season recruit El-Hawli could make his return this week.
Was on the cusp on an AFL debut after some great games in the VFL before injuring his ankle late in a game, 102K Def/Mid

Wayne Milera Knee Season
Patrick Parnell Shoulder Season
Luke Pedlar Shoulder Season
Updated: August 6, 2024
Early prognosis
Himmelberg is expected to be available after he was a late withdrawal from the travelling squad last week with hamstring soreness. Parnell has resumed full training, while the Crows said Milera was due to tick off a big milestone and start running next week. Brodie Smith has been sidelined due to illness recently, with Chayce Jones was unavailable in round 21 for a personal reason. – Nathan Schmook

Zac Williams Hamstring Test
Updated: August 6, 2024
Early prognosis
The Blues have ruled Cottrell out for the rest of the season, but Curnow should play this week. Don't expect Cerra to return before finals, should the side make it. Williams could return this week, though Fantasia remains sidelined. – Riley Beveridge
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Aiden BeggKneeSeasonJordan De GoeyHamstringSeasonBrody MihocekPectoral8-10 weeksTom MitchellFootSeasonIliro SmitConcussion1-2 weeksOscar SteeneToeSeasonUpdated: August 6, 2024
Early prognosis
Premiership pair De Goey and Mitchell have both been ruled out for the rest of 2024. De Goey suffered a high-grade hamstring strain against Carlton last Saturday night, while Mitchell is still dealing with the foot issue that has sidelined him since Anzac Day. Nathan Kreuger has exited the League's concussion protocols and will be available for selection. – Josh Gabelich

Early prognosis
Duursma will miss up to a month with a hamstring strain in a blow for the Bombers. In some good news, mid-season recruit El-Hawli could make his return this week. – Dejan Kalinic
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Josh CorbettHipSeasonTom EmmettSuspensionRound 23Oscar McDonaldKnee1 weekOllie MurphyAbdomen1 weekAlex PearceArmTBCMichael WaltersHamstring1 weekUpdated: August 6, 2024
Early prognosis
The Dockers are yet to settle on a timeline for Pearce to return after the cast was removed on his fractured left forearm but say he is progressing well. Likewise Walters, who is pushing to return soon from a hamstring injury that has sidelined him for two matches. McDonald and Muprhy will complete their final sessions in the reconditioning program this weekend, the Dockers said, before pushing to play after long-term injuries. - Nathan Schmook
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Toby ConwayFootSeasonSam De KoningKneeTestMitch EdwardsBackSeasonCam GuthrieAchillesTBCTom HawkinsFoot2 weeksMark O'ConnorKnee1-2 weeksGary RohanConcussionTestUpdated: August 6, 2024
Early prognosis
De Koning looks to have dodged an injury bullet after collapsing with a knee injury against Adelaide. He'll be tested this week and is still a chance to face Fremantle. Veteran forward Rohan could come back in if he ticks off all the boxes in his concussion recovery. The news isn't quite as positive for O'Connor, who could miss a fortnight with a minor knee injury, while there is still no clarity on Guthrie's return from a long-running Achilles problem. - Michael Rogers
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Ben AinsworthShoulderSeasonLevi CasboultHamstringTestSam DayFootTestCaleb GrahamKnee7 weeksTouk MillerWrist1 weekEthan ReadLeg1 weekJames TsitasQuadSeasonUpdated: August 6, 2024
Early prognosis
Day and Casboult will be put through their paces later in the week, with both missing the past four matches. Miller is just a week away, while Read did plenty of running at Tuesday's session. – Michael Whiting

Early prognosis
The Giants will be bolstered by the return of Josh Kelly (calf) this weekend, while Coniglio could also play. Nick Madden (ankle) is expected to make his return through the VFL. Cumming and Riccardi won't return before finals, while Preuss, Rowston and Hamilton have now all been ruled out for the remainder of the season. – Riley Beveridge

PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Steven MayRibsTBCChristian PetraccaRibs, spleenIndefiniteChristian SalemHamstring1-2 weeksJoel SmithSuspensionIndefiniteCharlie SpargoAchillesSeasonCaleb WindsorAnkle2-3 weeksUpdated: August 6, 2024
Early prognosis
No timeline has been set for May's return after he suffered multiple rib fractures against the Western Bulldogs. Salem continues to work through a hamstring injury and will re-enter main training this week in a bid to play in the latter stages of the season. Windsor is continuing his recovery from a syndesmosis injury but remains at least two weeks away. Ben Brown (knee) returned at VFL level last week. - Alison O'Connor

Early prognosis
The Kangas have ruled out Wardlaw for another week, given he's still in the AFL's 12-day protocols, while Logue will miss the rest of the season. Stephens will be sidelined for at least a week, but should return for the campaign's final fortnight. Fisher will undergo a fitness test later this week to determine his availability, but a decision has been made to rule Nyuon and Taylor out for the rest of the year. – Riley Beveridge
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Jeremy FinlaysonSpleenSeasonKyle MarshallShoulderSeasonTodd MarshallHipTestTrent McKenzieQuadSeasonSam Powell-Pepper KneeSeasonIvan SoldoKneeTestUpdated: August 6, 2024
Early prognosis
Marshall is expected to be available after missing the past three matches, while Soldo has rejoined full training and will be assessed later in the week. McKenzie suffered a "high-grade" quad strain during training. – Michael Whiting

Early prognosis
The Tigers have ruled Brown and Green out for the remainder of the season due to ankle injuries. McAuliffe and Pickett both face tests to be available this week. Gun forward Lynch is set to be integrated into some full training this week before a decision over his availability for the final fortnight of the year. - Dejan Kalinic
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Zaine CordyAdductorTestBrad CrouchKneeTBCMax HallBackTestJack HayesKneeTestLiam HenryKneeSeasonMax KingKneeSeasonSeb RossCalf2-3 weeksJames Van EsAnkleSeasonMarcus WindhagerHamstring1 weekUpdated: August 6, 2024
Early prognosis
Hayes is pushing to return for the first time since undergoing knee surgery following his second AFL appearance of the year back in round nine. Cordy and Hall are also facing fitness tests, while Windhager won't be available until next weekend. – Josh Gabelich
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Jack BullerBackSeasonJacob KonstantyFootTBCJustin McInerneyKnee3-4 weeksLewis MelicanHamstringTestTom PapleyAnkle2-3 weeksDane RampeCalfTestPatrick SnellHamstring1 weekUpdated: August 6, 2024
Early prognosis
The Swans should regain veteran Rampe (calf) and Joel Amartey (managed) for the crucial clash with Collingwood, while they're also hopeful Melican can return to shore up their backline. Key men McInerney and Papley are still several weeks away but should give the misfiring ladder leaders a much-needed boost for finals. - Martin Smith
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Tom BarrassConcussion/hamstringTestTyler BrockmanAnkleSeasonCoby BurgielHamstring1-2 weeksHarry EdwardsConcussion1-2 weeksLuke EdwardsConcussionTBCElijah HewettFootSeasonCallum JamiesonAnkle/kneeSeasonNoah LongKneeSeasonJosh RothamAbdominalTBCDom SheedHamstringTBCUpdated: August 6, 2024
Early prognosis
Barrass suffered delayed concussion symptoms after the Western Derby and has also experienced hamstring tendinopothy for a few weeks, with the key defender needing to pass tests this week to prove his fitness. Sheed suffered a repeat hamstring injury at training, while Harry Edwards copped a head knock against Gold Coast and was substituted. Rotham will miss at least one week and probably two, the Eagles said, with a strain on his oblique. – Nathan Schmook
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Jordan CroftThigh3-4 weeksRyan GardnerWristTestJames HarmesHamstringTestJason JohannisenCalf3-5 weeksKelsey RypstraHamstringTestAnthony ScottConcussion2-3 weeksBailey SmithKneeSeasonUpdated: August 6, 2024
Early prognosis
Recruit Harmes is pushing to be available for selection after recovering from a hamstring strain. Gardner is also a chance to return after missing the past three months due to wrist surgery. – Josh Gabelich
The scuttlebutt is that he is injured but the counterpoint to this article was a Longmuir quote saying he was touch and go for this week.
