Mitch Hinge | Shoulder | Season |
Tom Lynch | Toe | 7-8 weeks |
Wayne Milera | Knee | Season |
Lachlan Murphy | Ankle | 7-8 weeks |
Daniel Talia | Foot | 3-4 weeks |
Updated: Tuesday, May 25 |
Early prognosis
The big news was surgery for Crouch last Friday on his groin injury. The prolific midfielder has not played this season and took the step of surgery to stabilise a tendon to alleviate persistent pain in the area. Talia's recovery has been set back by a week after suffering illness that ensured he was unable to train. - Michael Whiting

Noah Answerth | Groin | 1 week |

Harry Sharp | Ankle | 12 weeks |
Ely Smith | Ankle | 5-7 weeks |
Jack Payne | Foot | 1-2 weeks |
Cam Rayner | Knee | Season |
Updated: Tuesday, May 25 |
Early prognosis
A few players getting close to a return with Lester striding out strongly at the weekend and on Tuesday. He might fall just short of playing GWS on Saturday, but he's getting close. Most interest surrounds Brownlow medalist Neale who took part in some (light) drills, jogging at a medium intensity and improving by the day. Answerth, Payne and Berry all ran on Tuesday, with the latter two reaching higher speeds, which was encouraging for Berry as his injury has never had a timeframe on it. Rayner also jogged for the first time since his ACL surgery. - Michael Whiting

Updated: Tuesday, May 25 |

Thomas and Brown will need to pass main training this week in order to prove their fitness, while Elliott will re-join the main group in the hope of facing Adelaide in round 12. Greenwood remains sidelined from main training with concussion symptoms. Cox will meet with a specialist this week to determine when he can enter contact training. - Mitch Cleary

Stringer and Draper both face tests to play against the Eagles this week but the Bombers are hopeful they will be available after making strong progress with their respective recoveries. Youngster Reid is expected to play in the VFL after overcoming glandular fever. Shiel is still some time off but is making strong progress from his knee surgery while the club remains unsure if and when Hurley will be available to play after his nasty pre-season hip infection. - Callum Twomey

Updated: Monday, May 24 |
Early prognosis
Taberner suffered minor ligament damage to his ankle and pulled up sore, so will be closely monitored this week. Pearce had awareness in the site of his last ankle injury and was withdrawn from his WAFL game before half time as a precaution. Brayshaw is expected to return, while Hamling now has an uncertain return-to-play date after being three weeks away going into round 10. - Nathan Schmook

Updated: Tuesday, May 25 |

Dangerfield is targeting a return after the Cats' round 12 bye, while O'Connor and Miers are progressing from their respective injuries. - Mitch Cleary

Updated: Tuesday, May 25 |

Jake Stein | Thumb | Test |
Sam Taylor | Ankle | 8 weeks |
Jacob Wehr | Ankle | Test |
Updated: Tuesday, May 25 |
Early prognosis
Key defender Taylor has been brilliant this season but needs ankle surgery after scans showed he suffered syndesmosis damage in the win over West Coast. Buckley rolled his ankle badly against the Eagles but didn’t require a scan so should be OK to take on Brisbane. Hogan’s bad luck continued when he strained a calf in training late last week. Bruhn kicked three goals in the VFL before coming off early in the second term with a sore groin. Kennedy, Preuss and Stein are hoping to return from long-term injuries this week through the VFL. - Martin Pegan

O’Meara will miss this weekend’s clash against Gold Coast in Darwin with concussion, while despite being a late withdrawal with neck soreness, Liam Shiels is not on the club’s injury list. Burgoyne is set to return, while top draftee Grainger-Barras is getting very close to a return from a hyperextended knee – Sarah Black

Robbie Tarrant | Kidney | Test |
Dom Tyson | Calf | TBC |
Will Walker | Thumb | 2 weeks |
Updated: Tuesday, May 25 |
Early prognosis
The good news for the Kangaroos is that Tarrant (kidney) will play VFL this weekend, marking his return to the game. He's likely to play only a half at reserves level. Hayden (hamstring) and Polec (hamstring) aren't likely to return until after the club's round 13 bye, while Anderson (ankle) will resume running next week but is still some time away. There is not yet a timeframe on returns for Spicer (hamstring) or Tyson (calf). But Patrick Walker (groin/hip) returned through the VFL last weekend. - Riley Beveridge

Updated: Wednesday, May 26 |
Early prognosis
More bad news on the injury front with Lynch to undergo knee surgery later this week. In better news, the Tigers could be boosted by a host of midfielders, with Prestia, Bolton and Cotchin all listed as "probable" by the club. However, Edwards is still at least another week away, while Naish has joined the injury list with a minor hamstring concern. – Sarah Black

Updated: Tuesday, May 25 |
Early prognosis

Kent remains sidelined with concussion after a heavy hit in the VFL on May 2, while McKenzie is a test ahead of selection this week. - Mitch Cleary

Updated: Tuesday, May 25 |
Early prognosis
Fox copped an accidental poke in the eye against the Dockers that scratched his eyeball and caused some bleeding, and is now waiting on a specialist’s report to learn the extent of the injury. The Swans are hopeful he just needs a week of rest. Melican joined in all of training on Tuesday and is expected to be available if needed to replace Fox in defence. Ronke is set to play in the VFL as he continues his recovery from a long-term knee injury. - Martin Pegan

Witherden reported tightness ahead of round 10 and was a late withdrawal, with the Eagles still investigating the exact issue. Sheppard has a rolled ankle and will face a fitness test. Yeo is finally off the injury list after almost 10 months. - Nathan Schmook

Jamarra Ugle-Hagan | Concussion | Test |
Laitham Vandermeer | Knee | TBC |
Easton Wood | Hamstring | 4-6 weeks |
Updated: Tuesday, May 25 |
Early prognosis
There's a bit happening on the injury front at the Dogs, who are perched on top of the ladder. Treloar goes out after ankle surgery and could miss a couple of months, but Lipinski is a chance to come in after missing last week with a thigh injury. English is also expected to return after a month out with concussion, while Toby McLean will make his return to the VFL this week following a rapid return after his knee reconstruction. Vandermeer, however, has had more issues with his knee and now faces a more extensive stint on the sidelines as he undergoes surgery. - Callum Twomey
