| Tylar Young | ACL | Season |
| Updated: July 2, 2024 | ||
Early prognosis
Martin was subbed off with back soreness in the loss to Carlton, but was unlikely to make the trip to Perth regardless, with coach Adem Yze saying the champion will be managed in the back half of the year. Prestia or Lynch won't be rushed back to face Fremantle, either. Grimes had season-ending back surgery last week. Mid-season recruit Gray starred with four goals in the VFL before suffering a serious hamstring injury. For the first time this year, draftee Fawcett has a timeline on his return.. – Sarah Black

| Max King | Knee | Season |
| James Van Es | Ankle | Season |
| Updated: July 3, 2024 | ||

St Kilda suffered a huge blow with King ruled out for the season with a PCL injury, but it could be boosted by the return of key defender Howard for Sunday’s game against Sydney. The former Port Adelaide backman is available for selection this week after missing a month with a hamstring strain. Seb Ross was managed on the weekend and will be available for selection. – Josh Gabelich

| Angus Sheldrick | Ankle | Test |
| Updated: July 2, 2024 | ||
Early prognosis
Cunningham will miss at least fortnight with a hamstring issue, but Mills is a week closer to a return and should be back, possibly in the VFL, in round 18 along with Parker. Sam Reid returned in the VFL last week for his first game since March and will look to get more game time under his belt in the coming weeks. Sheldrick has recovered well from an ankle issue and could return this weekend. - Martin Smith

| Updated: July 2, 2024 | ||
