Milera is in doubt for Friday night's clash with Geelong with a minor back injury. He aggravated his lower back in the round 13 win against Richmond and will be assessed at Wednesday's main training session. Lynch will miss a third straight game with a calf injury, but is expected to be available for the round 16 Showdown with Port Adelaide. McHenry has been ruled out of this weekend's SANFL game after injuring his lower back in a marking contest at training before the bye. Jenkins could be back in the next fortnight. He is out of a knee brace and will soon return to running on the Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill. - Lee Gaskin

It's been a swift recovery for Berry, originally expected to miss six to eight weeks and now back within five. Amazing to think Brisbane could have just one player one its injury list entering this round. - Michael Whiting 

The injury list is shortening at Carlton. Ed Curnow is fine, despite rolling his ankle a fortnight ago, while Liam Jones will also return this week from lingering concussion symptoms. However, it's unlikely Docherty or Williamson will be seen again this season. - Riley Beveridge

Howe is set to be sidelined for multiple weeks and Adams faces a similar recovery time, while Elliott will miss another one. A timeframe on Langdon is expected to become clearer in coming weeks. Goldsack, Quaynor and Wills will be assed for niggles, while Murphy's recovery has been slow and Kelly will also spend a considerable time on the sidelines. Stephenson will be available at finals time while Beams and Wells will race the clock to return before season's end, but the campaign seems over for fellow veteran Dunn after a second anterior cruciate ligament rupture in nine months. - Ben Collins

Stringer hasn't returned to running yet, such is the soreness in that lower leg injury he suffered against Hawthorn. The Bombers need him back but aren't pushing him. Guelfi has passed the concussion test but still has some sore ribs after crashing into the fence last week against West Coast so is touch-and-go. Coach John Worsfold highlighted Fantasia's sore body after his quiet display last week against the Eagles so he is also one to monitor given the games he's missed through injury this year. - Callum Twomey

It was a tough day on the injury front on Saturday with Hogan becoming the latest tall to go down, Hill suffering another soft-tissue setback and Bennell's calf nightmare continuing at Peel. The Dockers will be crossing their fingers Lobb and Sandilands can get back within the next month. - Travis King

The list is slowly whittling down with Touk Miller back from a quad problem and Hanley and Murdoch both expected to be available. Rankine will play his first game in the NEAFL after successive hamstring injuries have sidelined him since the pre-season. - Michael Whiting

Whitfield is back training and could be ready to play in the next fortnight if he can get through some contact work without any issues with his collarbone. Tommy Sheridan will line up in the reserves after recovering from his calf injury, while Corr and Caldwell will be another week or two away. - Adam Curley

Grant Birchall (calf) played two quarters in his first game for 720 days in the VFL on Saturday and will increase his game time at the same level this weekend. Darren Minchington (hamstring) was also back in action in the same match. Neither Wingard nor Scrimshaw has progressed enough from their respective setbacks and face more time on the sidelines. Scrimshaw is at least into some skills work. Rookie-listed Jiath copped a knee to the head in the opening minutes of the VFL and will miss several weeks, while Walker and Koschitzke could both return at state league standard. Birchall, Wingard, Jarryd Roughead, James Cousins, Marc Pittonet and Harry Jones were among those on light duties at Tuesday's session. - Marc McGowan

A few familiar names have re-joined Melbourne's injury list. Hibberd needed a minor operation two weeks ago to re-attach a plate to his previously broken collarbone but is a chance to play this week, while Lever has suffered bone bruising to his reconstructed knee. Garlett and Smith's seasons are over, while Melksham remains at least a month away. - Sarah Black

Hall could be just one week away from returning to action after hurting his medial collateral ligament in his left knee in the VFL a fortnight ago. That is good news after initial fears he had suffered a serious setback. Macmillan's now had three weeks off and will push to return for Saturday night's clash with Collingwood. Tyson and Wright will also look to resume from multiple-game absences, albeit in the VFL. Higgins remains at least a month from being back. - Marc McGowan

Rockliff is expected to return to football this weekend after missing the past four weeks with a hamstring injury. He's likely to be brought back through the SANFL, as the Power did with Ollie Wines and Brad Ebert. Amon and Howard have accepted one-game suspensions from the Power's 11-point win against Geelong. They will be available for Showdown 47 against crosstown rival Adelaide in round 16. - Lee Gaskin

The cavalry is on its way. Richmond is poised to regain a host of top-end players for its match against St Kilda, but the soft-tissue trio – Cotchin, Edwards and Lambert – will have to get through training this week. Short could return at either VFL or AFL level after dislocating his elbow in round three. Riewoldt and Nankervis have returned to running at top speed, Ross has moved from the weight-bearing Alter-G treadmill to outdoor running, while draftee Turner has developed bone stress in his femur. Recruit Pickett will have a wire removed from his finger next week. - Sarah Black

Right ankle surgery for King means he's unlikely to return this year. Webster and White need to prove their fitness. The Saints can ill-afford an injury to Rowan Marshall, because Pierce and Longer face uncertain futures with concussion. - Dinny Navaratnam

Franklin is at least a month away with his left hamstring problem, with the Swans' round 19 clash with Geelong at the SCG his likely return game if his rehab goes well. McVeigh has made a good recovery from his own hamstring issue and is back training, so shouldn't be far away from a return to the field. Cunningham is also a chance to play in the next fortnight. - Adam Curley

Barrass is expected to return at AFL level against Hawthorn, provided the corked calf he picked up late in his WAFL comeback on Saturday won't hamper him this Saturday. He could be needed to replace McGovern, if his Tribunal challenge fails. - Travis King

Veteran defender Morris is an incident-free week at training away from being selected, most likely at VFL level, only 106 days after a knee injury that threatened to end the 36-year-old's career. The timeframe on Liberatore's return has been determined at around a month, while Greene requires surgery on a shoulder issue that hasn't improved in the past fortnight following the incident. - Paul Bastin
