O'Brien will have to pass concussion tests this week, but the Crows expect he will be available to face St Kilda on Saturday night. The ruckman was involved in a marking contest late in the final quarter that forced him to leave the ground. Keath will miss a second straight game with ankle soreness, while Ellis-Yolmen's recovery from a shin injury is taking longer than first thought. - Lee Gaskin

Witherden came off early against the Hawks but was on the training track on Tuesday running laps. He has no major damage and will be tested later in the week. - Michael Whiting 

There will be a number of key Blues who will be made to undergo fitness tests later this week, including Cuningham, Fisher, Goddard, Kennedy and Kreuzer. The club is hopeful to have them available for selection ahead of this week's clash with the Eagles. Young forward Kerr will miss the rest of the year having undergone a shoulder operation. - Riley Beveridge

De Goey and Quaynor appear set for multiple weeks on the sidelines after picking up injuries in the loss to Richmond and Roughead and Phillips could be in doubt after a costly loss to Richmond on Friday night. However, Adams, Greenwood and Noble could return against Gold Coast at the MCG on Sunday after being a late withdrawal on Friday night. Aish will undergo surgery on an AC joint on Monday but plans to return before the end of the minor rounds. Sier is unavailable again but Moore probably won't play before the finals. Murphy has finally been cleared to return and Kelly is also being managed conservatively, but Reid faces an uphill battle to play again this season after another setback. Stephenson will be available at finals time while Wells will race the clock to return before season's end. But the campaign seems over for Langdon and veterans Dunn and Beams, despite the latter returning to the club on Monday after taking leave to deal with mental health issues.  - Ben Collins

Heppell and Fantasia will have to prove their fitness at Thursday's main training session after missing recent games with their injury issues. Heppell is set to be a week-to-week proposition for the rest of the season as he deals with soreness in the growth plate in his foot. Bellchambers is about to step up his recovery from his calf injury by running at the end of this week, while Hurley is going well after shoulder surgery. - Callum Twomey

Ryan will be aiming to return this season after going down with a hamstring against the Western Bulldogs, but he and Cox look the only chances to play again in 2019. Hill is yet to resume running following his latest in a string of quad setbacks but is making progress. Nat Fyfe's sore elbow and Rory Lobb's painful shoulder are likely to be ongoing management issues. - Travis King

Hombsch suffered his injury in the third quarter against Essendon, and despite being able to play the match out, will now miss the remainder of the season. The good news is Martin has progressed much quicker than expected following finger surgery and should be available this weekend. - Michael Whiting

Taylor's hamstring will see him missing until the finals in a huge blow for the Giants, and he can't afford to have any setbacks over the next month. In better news, Brett Deledio (managed) and Adam Kennedy (elevated heart rate) are both available to play the Swans, with star midfielder Kelly likely to face Hawthorn in Canberra next week. Corr, Cumming and O'Halloran should also be ready to return next week through the NEAFL. - Adam Curley

Scrimshaw's long-awaited return from the injury he originally suffered against Port Adelaide in round 10 could be this weekend. The ex-Sun needs to get through training and pull up well for that to happen. Last week's late withdrawal O'Brien will also be pushing to reclaim his senior spot. Moore and Morrison are expected to play at VFL level after multi-week absences, but Schoenmakers is at least a fortnight away. - Marc McGowan

Weideman (broken jaw in the VFL) and Kolodjashnij have now been ruled out for the season. May will have to get through training this week in order to play, while Jake Melksham (foot), Marty Hore (collarbone) and Billy Stretch (foot) are available for senior selection after getting through the VFL unscathed. Hannan and Spargo have picked up minor leg injuries, while the club still hopes Sparrow will return for VFL finals. - Sarah Black

Daw's fairytale return from serious hip and pelvis injuries is on hold, with a torn hamstring in his fourth VFL match back ending his bid to play in the AFL this year. The prognosis was for a six-week stint out, so his pre-season isn't in danger of being delayed. Tyson's horror first season in blue and white continues after he was edging close to a return last week. Thompson will hope to return to the field against Hawthorn on Friday night after sitting out the loss to West Coast, while Atley will also have to pass a fitness test. - Marc McGowan

Wines is a chance to return from a fractured thumb for Saturday's crucial encounter with Essendon at Marvel Stadium, but the co-captain is more likely for the following week. - Lee Gaskin

Skipper Cotchin has once again been sidelined with a hamstring injury, although it is in a different spot to the two previous issues suffered this year. Josh Caddy (rolled ankle) is now available after missing one week, while it remains to be seen at which level Toby Nankervis (adductor) will play. Pickett and Ross are due to play managed minutes in the VFL, while Fraser Turner (leg) will also play in the reserves. Higgins has been released from hospital after undergoing a procedure on an abnormality in his blood vessels he's had since birth. - Sarah Black

The Saints say Hannebery hasn't had a setback after missing training on Tuesday, but instead has come down with a bout of gastro, and won't face Adelaide on Saturday. Ruckman Longer will take a break from the club for the rest of the season, and is out of contract for next year. Sam Rowe didn't play for Sandringham last weekend after having hurt his ankle the week before, and Jack Mayo also missed, but the club says both were merely rested. Armitage has recovered from his concussion a fortnight ago but is taking a break for personal reasons. - Dinny Navaratnam

Fox copped a heavy knock late against Geelong and still had some concussion symptoms on Monday, so he will be tested on Thursday. Last week's late withdrawal Florent should be ready to face the Giants. Hayward finally succumbed to his nagging hip issue and had surgery last week, which ended his season, and Cunningham is set for surgery this week and is also done for 2019. Franklin is running again so could be a slim chance to resume against Port Adelaide on the road next week but is more likely to be back against Melbourne in round 22 for game 300. - Adam Curley

Hurn, Hutchings, Duggan and Cripps ticked the boxes getting through skills work on Tuesday morning and none of them appeared restricted in any way during the 45-minute session. Cripps might be the only one unavailable with his return scheduled against Adelaide in round 21. Star midfielder Luke Shuey was on light duties jogging laps but doesn't appear in significant doubt six days out from the Carlton clash at Marvel Stadium. - Travis King

Heartbreak for Dale Morris who ruptured the ACL in his left knee in his return AFL game. Toby McLean is edging closer to a senior return from a hamstring injury and Josh Schache will be available after a concussion. - Josh Schonafinger
