Tom Lynch	Toe	3-4 weeks
Wayne Milera	Knee	Season
Lachlan Murphy	Ankle	2-3 weeks
Daniel Talia	Foot	TBC
Updated: Tuesday, June 22

Early prognosis

The best news for the Crows coming off their bye is the return of Luke Brown from an achilles injury. Murphy is also exceeding expectations after ankle surgery and should be back a week sooner than initially expected.

Ely Smith	Ankle	2-4 weeks
Cam Rayner	Knee	Season
Updated: Tuesday, June 22

Early prognosis

It was hoped Berry and Ellis-Yolmen would return through the VFL last week, but a slight delay for both means they should come back this weekend. Berry has missed considerable time with a groin problem, but ran well at Tuesday's training session. - Michael Whiting

Sam Philp	Groin	Season

Updated: Tuesday, June 22

The Blues should have Gibbons available for selection this week, but Plowman will miss again while Setterfield is still another fortnight away. Parks hurt his back in Saturday night's defeat to the Giants and will have to undergo a fitness test later this week, while new mid-season recruit Mirkov went down with a knee injury in the VFL and will miss the next month. Curnow is around six weeks away from a comeback after two years out of the game, while McGovern is also closing on a return. But Casboult is suspended for this weekend's fixtures after picking up a ban in the VFL. - Riley Beveridge

Levi Greenwood	Concussion	TBC
Jeremy Howe	Hamstring	5-6 weeks
Reef McInnes	Ankle	3-5 weeks
Darcy Moore	Knee	Season
Nathan Murphy	Corked quad	Test
Updated: Tuesday, June 22

Early prognosis

The Pies have declared Brodie Grundy fit to return from the neck injury he sustained against Geelong in round 11. Adams, however, is still facing a fitness test in order to prove he's over the knee injury he sustained against Port Adelaide in round 10. Murphy is still a test but appeared to be moving freely at training on Tuesday morning. Moore will be in a brace for at least the next six weeks meaning he's all but certain to miss the remainder of the season. - Mitch Cleary

Early prognosis

Zaharakis and Waterman are likely to be available for Saturday night's meeting with Melbourne after their minor soft-tissue concerns ruled them out of last week. Snelling, meanwhile, remains a week or two off his return from his thumb injury. Shiel is progressing well and likely to return in coming weeks. - Callum Twomey

Hayden Young	Hamstring	1 week
Updated: Tuesday, June 22

Early prognosis

Fyfe is regaining range and strength in his dislocated right shoulder and will train with the main group on Wednesday with contact. Taberner and Logue should play against Collingwood after being given extra time to recover over the bye. The Dockers have put Brennan Cox on ice with a hamstring tendon injury, while Hayden Young is recovering quickly and could play in round 16. - Nathan Schmook

Lachie Henderson	Hip	Test
Sam Simpson	Quad	TBC
Cooper Stephens	Ankle	Indefinite
Cameron Taheny	Adductor	TBC
Paul Tsapatolis	Thumb	TBC
Updated: Tuesday, June 22

Early prognosis

Duncan has avoided surgery but will likely miss the rest of the home and away season with his high-grade PCL injury. Hawkins should be right to face the Lions off the six-day break, however will still need to be monitored after his neck injury sustained in the final term against the Western Bulldogs. Henderson is all but certain to return after he was a late out against the Dogs. - Mitch Cleary

Lachie Weller	Hamstring	TBC
Jarrod Witts	Knee	Season
Updated: Tuesday, June 22

Early prognosis

The Suns lost a couple of players in Saturday's loss against Port Adelaide, with Swallow and Weller both set to miss at least a match. In better news, No.7 draft pick Elijah Hollands got through his first game in almost 16 months when he helped the VFL team to a win after overcoming an ACL injury. Collins will be given at least another week to overcome an ankle problem. - Michael Whiting

Conor Stone	Hamstring	Test
Sam Taylor	Ankle	2 weeks
Updated: Tuesday, June 22

Early prognosis

Kelly and Hill each rolled an ankle in the first term against Carlton but were strapped up and able to play out the match. They both have swelling around the ankle and will be managed through the week, then need to pass a fitness test to play Hawthorn on Sunday. Brent Daniels is available after recovering from his second hamstring strain this year. Shane Mumford is also available after missing last week with a back injury. Captain Coniglio and prized recruit Hogan are both nearing a return and have started to join in the main training sessions. - Martin Pegan

Seamus Mitchell	Ankle	1 week
James Sicily	Knee	Indefinite
Updated: Tuesday, June 22

Early prognosis

The Hawks have now put a timeline on Morrison's hamstring injury, with the young forward facing up to six weeks on the sidelines, and more is expected to be known about Gunston's possible return next week. Lewis is now a test after missing two weeks with concussion after a boxing bout gone awry, while draftee Mitchell is closing in on a return. Ned Reeves (ankle) played in the VFL over the weekend, while Kyle Hartigan and James Worpel have completed their suspensions. - Sarah Black

Updated: Tuesday, June 22

Jackson Mead	Spleen	Assess
Tom Rockliff	DVT	TBC
Taj Schofield	Hamstring	TBC
Updated: Tuesday, June 22

Early prognosis

Gray underwent surgery on Monday after tearing the medial ligament in his left knee. Scans will determine the extent of Schofield's hamstring injury, which he suffered in the SANFL. Butters is back running but the Power are reluctant to put a timeframe on his return. Fantasia has been expected to become available this week but his timeframe to return has been pushed out. - Nathan Schmook

Tom Lynch	Knee	1-2 weeks

Max King	Back	Test
Rowan Marshall	Foot	Test
Daniel McKenzie	Calf	Test
Shaun McKernan	Toe	Test
Ben Paton	Broken leg	Season
Updated: Tuesday, June 22

Early prognosis

Marshall is pushing to play against Richmond after a strong recent training block off a foot injury that has kept him out of the side since round nine. Geary has had shoulder surgery this week that is likely to sideline him for the remainder of the season, while Bytel was concussed at training on Monday and will miss at least one game. Jones is still at least a fortnight away, while Frawley, McKernan and McKenzie could return. - Mitch Cleary

Sam Naismith	ACL	Indefinite
Sam Reid	Calf	2-3 weeks
Chad Warner	Shin	1-2 weeks
Sam Wicks	Suspension	1 week
Updated: Tuesday, June 22

Early prognosis

Campbell, Gulden and Warner are being held back to give them more time to recover from soreness related to stress reactions. Hayward was subbed out with concussion against Hawthorn but might not miss a match as he had the bye period to recover, however, Wicks will miss the clash with Port Adelaide after being suspended for a high bump. Luckless ruckman Naismith has been sidelined indefinitely after a graft in his knee that followed an ACL injury last year was found to have failed. - Martin Pegan

Updated: Tuesday, June 22

Early prognosis

A host of gun players are set to return if they can get through main training on Thursday, with Kelly, Sheppard and McGovern facing tests and Luke Shuey cleared now after returning through the WAFL. All trained with the main group on Tuesday and appear likely to face the Western Bulldogs, slashing the Eagles' injury list as they prepare for the run to finals. Mid-season recruits Collins and West each suffered minor setbacks, with West spraining an ankle and Collins suffering a hamstring strain. - Nathan Schmook
