GREATER Western Sydney star Josh Kelly recovered well from last week's return game against Essendon, but the Giants will continue to keep a close eye on their gun midfielder. 

Kelly missed six weeks with a groin issue and while he took some time to work into the clash with the Bombers, he finished the night with 29 possessions, eight inside 50s, four clearances and four tackles at Spotless Stadium. 

Coach Leon Cameron said the 2017 club champion and first-time All Australian has had a light week on the track ahead of Sunday's important game against the Crows in Adelaide, but the club is happy with where Kelly is at physically.

"He's not out of the woods and we've got to continue to look at his training loads," he said. 

"We were really rapt with how he performed, having six weeks off is always tough and it probably takes you two or three weeks to get into a rhythm. 

"Early in the week we keep him off legs, but you can't not train a player for long periods of time and expect him to perform on the weekend.

"We target our main session of the week to get the right amount of load in, but he's pulled up well and away he goes on Sunday." 

The Giants' injury toll has been a major hurdle for them this season, but on the back of Kelly's comeback last week, they will welcome the inclusion of co-captain Phil Davis against his former side.

Davis completed multiple training sessions this week after missing two games with concussion and will participate in full contact drills on Thursday. 

Cameron said the key defender has been sorely missed over the past fortnight. 

"He's co-captain for a reason and provides a lot of leadership in the back half," Cameron said. 

"He was having a really good year and has been out for the past couple (of games), and you just can't replace those sorts of players, especially when you're talking about one of your captains.

"It will be great having him out there, he's a competitor. 

"He loves to play on big forwards and (Josh) Jenkins and (Tom) Lynch and (Darcy) Fogarty are quality players so he'll have his work cut out for him, but Phil loves a challenge."

The Crows at home are a stern test at any stage of the season, but the home side will be even more primed for the Giants' visit after their humiliating 91-point loss to Melbourne in Alice Springs last week. 

Cameron said he's more concerned with his own team's effort than what Adelaide might bring. 

"The main focus for us is to string together a consistent four quarters," he said.

"To tick over the scoreboard a bit better and put the opposition on the back foot more than clearly what we're doing at the moment. 

"What that leads to is confidence and a better brand (of footy), and the spirit and cohesion (of the group) then becomes a lot higher."
