Updated: June 4, 2024

Ollie Henry Hamstring Test
Oli Wiltshire Pelvis 4 weeks
Updated: June 4, 2024

Dangerfield is a chance to return for Sunday's top-four clash against Sydney, having trained with the main group for almost two weeks. Ollie Henry's hamstring complaint will also be tested ahead of selection, with the lure of the Cats' round 14 bye set to play some role in their management of both players.

Jacob van Rooyen Adductor Test
Updated: June 4, 2024

Early prognosis

Young forward van Rooyen (adductor) pulled up sore after the Demons' clash with St Kilda and didn't play against Fremantle, however the Demons are hopeful he will be fit to face Collingwood on King's Birthday. Hunter re-injured his calf against the Dockers and faces a 4-6 week stint on the sidelines. The luckless winger was plagued by the same injury across the summer and for the opening rounds of the season. Daniel Turner (calf) and Tom Fullarton (hamstring) both made successful returns from injury at the weekend, the latter at VFL level. - Alison O'Connor

Updated: June 4, 2024

Early prognosis

The Kangas have cleared co-captain Jy Simpkin (quad) and veteran Hugh Greenwood (Achilles) to play in Saturday's clash with the Eagles. But youngster McKercher remains sidelined and still doesn't have a definitive timeline for his return.

Josh Sinn Collarbone 4 weeks
Updated: June 4, 2024

Updated: June 4, 2024

Harmes won't be available until after the bye after straining his hamstring last Friday night.  Josh Gabelich
