Byrne is expected to make his much-anticipated return in the VFL against Coburg this Saturday. The Irishman, who has been sidelined since rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in round 15 last season, has been in full training for about three weeks.

The Dons suffered a blow when Ambrose re-injured his quad at training last week. The defender will be out for another six weeks having not played since the Bombers' win over Collingwood on Anzac Day, with his absence felt in the Essendon backline. Parish will miss one more week with a minor calf strain but should be back after the Bombers' round 13 bye, while James Kelly is expected to be available for Saturday night's clash with Port Adelaide. - Callum Twomey

Ballantyne is on schedule to return, most likely for Peel, from his latest hamstring setback. If he plays in the Thunder's clash with South Fremantle on Saturday it will have been three weeks since he hurt his hamstring in his comeback game from tendon surgery. Bennell is still about a month away from a long-awaited return to the field. The plan was for him to be available within the next fortnight. Star ruckman Sandilands will miss the trip to Brisbane, while Langdon will also remain in Perth as he battles a knee problem. - Travis King

The Cats were unscathed after the win against Adelaide however the players were keen for the break. Cowan is seeing specialists to determine the best action for his troublesome Achilles while Gregson remains a long-term prospect. Bews was unable to move off the straight line due to his ankle injury and was ruled out after the final training session for the week. He hopes the bye will give him enough time to be available for selection. - Peter Ryan

Track report

Taylor Garner (leg), Nathan Hrovat (calf) and Marley Williams (hip) sustained various ailments in the loss to Richmond, but none seems serious, especially with North having the week off. It will be interesting to see whether Wright, after multiple setbacks, can make his belated season debut in the VFL for Werribee next week. Thomas will be eligible to return next week, but will almost certainly resume where he left off: in the VFL.Marc McGowan
