Keath is expected to return for Sunday's important encounter with West Coast in Perth. The key defender has missed the past two games with ankle soreness. Betts and Hartigan are both expected to be available to face the Eagles after sustaining injuries in last weekend's 22-point win against St Kilda. Betts copped a knee to the ribs in the second quarter, while Hartigan rolled his ankle in a marking contest. He'll be managed early in the week before being tested at the Crows' main training session on Thursday. Ellis-Yolmen is at least another week away from returning from a shin injury that has kept the big-bodied midfielder sidelined since round 13. - Lee Gaskin

All eyes will be on Zorko this week. His scan results came back clear, but the skipper will still need to pass a fitness test to play. - Michael Whiting 

The Blues are hopeful McGovern will return to football this week after a solid four-week training block, though haven't ruled out the prospect of bringing him back through the VFL. The club also believes Kreuzer will return from hip soreness. - Riley Beveridge

Cox's season-ending eye injury has added to the Pies' personnel woes but Wells could return at VFL level. De Goey and Quaynor will remain on the sidelines at least for the short term, while Aish and Moore also hope to be back before the end of the minor rounds. Sier seems unlikely again this week while Murphy again didn't take the field in the VFL after being cleared to play. 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 but the campaign is over for Langdon and veterans Dunn and Beams.  - Ben Collins

The Bombers' injury list has grown markedly this week, losing Guelfi for the season to a training accident which required knee surgery, and important backman Saad to a minor hamstring strain. They will get McKernan back from illness and will be desperate for Heppell to be available, while Parish and Francis will also be monitored before being cleared for the clash. - Callum Twomey

Lobb's season is over after undergoing shoulder surgery. A timeframe on Wilson is yet to be determined. Scott Jones made his return from a calf injury in the WAFL and got through unscathed. Ryan and Cox are still in the frame to return before the end of the season. Pearce spent time as an assistant coach for Peel Thunder last week as he recovers from an ankle injury. - Jourdan Canil

Not much news for the Suns, which is a good thing. Young has had a difficult season but is a chance to play NEAFL at the weekend. Ah Chee is progressing well and still a chance to return before the season finishes. - Michael Whiting

Cameron, Kelly and de Boer could all be ready to face the Hawks on Friday night, but they'll have to train strongly on Wednesday to convince selectors to pick them. In further good news, Aidan Corr, Isaac Cumming and Xavier O'Halloran are all fit but won't play this weekend because of the Giants' NEAFL bye. - Adam Curley

Birchall's season may be over because of a hamstring setback on Friday night. However, the Hawks say they are pleased with him being able to play six games between VFL and AFL level, especially with his troublesome knee holding up well. Jack Scrimshaw (knee) resumed in the VFL on restricted minutes and will increase his game time this weekend. Tim O'Brien (calf), Harry Morrison (back) and Dylan Moore (groin) also returned from respective injuries as well. First-year midfielder Will Golds sprained an ankle at training last week. - Marc McGowan

Key backs May and Lever are tests for this week's match against Collingwood, with Lever having rolled his ankle last round. Weideman is down to have operations on both hips, the first next week. McDonald's season is over but he is due to start running on the weight-bearing AlterG treadmill next week after surgery on a torn meniscus, while Nietschke has started incorporating agility work in his rehab from a knee reconstruction. - Sarah Black

The Roos have booked Davies-Uniacke in for a right shoulder reconstruction to fix an issue he suffered earlier in the season when fending off an opponent, bringing an end to his second AFL campaign. Watson's is a fresh injury and he will sit out at least this weekend to try to recover from a medial cruciate ligament setback in his left knee, the same knee he had reconstructed in mid-2017. Wright's farewell game ended prematurely when he sustained a hamstring injury, but he wasn't going to play again this year, anyway. Atley will try again to prove his fitness after hurting himself in round 19. - Marc McGowan

Butters is in doubt for Saturday's clash with Sydney after suffering a bruised sternum in the first half of last weekend's win against Essendon. Burton is on track to return from a hamstring injury before the end of the season after increasing his training loads. Watts has returned to running, but there isn't any timeframe on when he will be available. The utility hasn't played since breaking his leg and damaging his ankle in round two. - Lee Gaskin

One of Richmond's shortest injury lists for the season at the right time of the year. Moore is a chance to make his return in the VFL from a fractured ankle this weekend. Stack is less likely to play against Carlton, with the club wanting to be cautious with a first-year player who has a soft-tissue injury. Cotchin is still a week or two away. - Sarah Black

Gresham could be sidelined for the rest of the season after suffering a fractured eye socket on the weekend. The Saints would expect Hannebery, Newnes and Paton to be right to go. However, considering Hannebery hasn't played at any level since June and has dealt with well-publicised soft-tissue issues, he might need to return via the VFL. - Dinny Navaratnam

Star defender Rampe has been cleared by specialists to return against Port, after he missed the Sydney Derby with an eye injury. Superstar forward Lance Franklin will increase his training and could face Melbourne in round 22. Veteran McVeigh is hopeful of joining training next week with a look at playing again before he retires at the end of the year. The news isn't as positive for Naismith who is battling soreness, while O'Riordan isn't expected to play again this year. - Adam Curley

Cripps is eyeing a return against Adelaide on Sunday after making good progress in his recovery. Duggan is still being assessed after aggravating his original ankle ligament injury via a knock in the WAFL, while Brander's season could be over as the club investigates the possibility of surgery on his badly injured hamstring. Smith could be available for selection during the pre-finals bye after a quicker than expected rehab of his hamstring injury. - Riley Beveridge

Defender Daniel pulled up sore following the loss to Brisbane and scans have revealed some damage to his left hamstring. He will miss at least this week's clash against Essendon. Crozier will be tested later in the week after hurting his ankle last week. - Josh Schonafinger
