STAR Adelaide defender Rory Laird is in doubt for Sunday's clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium with a fractured hand.

Forward Tom Lynch is unlikely to play after failing to finish last Sunday's loss to Greater Western Sydney with a side strain, while veteran midfielder Richard Douglas will have an eye injury monitored this week.

Meanwhile, midfielder Brad Crouch has been ruled out for the season after having groin surgery on Monday.

Laird is on track for his second straight All-Australian selection, the 24-year-old currently third in the League for disposals averaging 32.9 per game.

"Lairdy's had X-rays, he's got a small fracture in his hand," Crows general manager of high performance Matt Hass told afc.com.au

"It's not displaced, so that's a positive for us.

"He'll need to get through training on Thursday to be available for the weekend."

Lynch appears to be a long shot to face the Dockers as a result of a boot from Giants star Callan Ward in the second quarter of the loss to GWS.

Lynch went back out on the ground later in the game, but soon returned to the bench.

"Lynchy strained his side and he was in a fair bit of pain," Hass said.

"He attempted to go back out there in the third quarter, unsuccessfully.

"He'll be assessed early in the week, but he's unlikely for this weekend."

In better news, Hass is hopeful Douglas will be available after getting a scratch on his eyeball.

"It was quite uncomfortable, he wasn't able to focus and he wasn't able to go back on the ground," he said.

"Things are tracking along nicely.

"He'll need to get through main training on Thursday, but we're hopeful he'll play on the weekend."

It's the second time Crouch has missed an entire season due to injury, after he didn't play in 2015 with a foot issue.

Crows captain Taylor Walker (glute/back) and vice-captain Rory Sloane (foot) could return for the round 13 game with Hawthorn at the MCG.

The Crows have the bye in round 14 before they host ladder-leaders West Coast at Adelaide Oval in round 15 on June 30.
