After undergoing scans, Petracca is set to be available for the round 10 blockbuster against the Power at Adelaide Oval.

"The scans yesterday thankfully confirmed that he just tweaked that ankle area," Dees doctor Laura Lallenec said.

"He will need to get through training tomorrow and through the rest of the week to play, but we're fairly hopeful at this stage that there shouldn't be any issue with him playing this Friday."

The news wasn't good for Petty, who has suffered a foot injury and will miss four to six weeks.

"He got his toe jammed between another player and the ground, so he had scans yesterday and that did show a sprain of one of the ligaments in his mid-foot," Lallenec said.

"He will remain in the boot this week and the good news is that nothing is ruptured, it's more of a strain, so we just need to get some time for healing of that ligament."
