Rankine also underwent scans on Monday, having injured his left hamstring in the final minutes against Melbourne. The Crows said there was "little to no tendon damage" and the dangerous small forward would miss up to a month.

Updated: July 25, 2023 |

Zac Williams | Knee | Season |
Updated: July 25, 2023 |
Early prognosis
The Blues will lose Walsh for at least the next fortnight, after scans discovered a low-grade strain to his hamstring. However, there is hope Silvagni returns from a joint sprain to his knee. Cerra and Cripps will be forced to undergo fitness tests ahead of Friday night's blockbuster against the Pies, having missed last week. Durdin, Martin and Owies are in a similar boat as they recover from respective injuries. Motlop finished last week's win over the Eagles on the bench, but there is still some hope he could play. Boyd, Kennedy and McKay will definitely miss. In better news, Zac Fisher (hamstring) and Marc Pittonet (knee) will be available. – Riley Beveridge

Updated: July 25, 2023 |

Hayes would have played against North Melbourne but a minor hamstring strain ruled him out late. Cordy is also set to be available after missing due to concussion. Hill has been ruled out this week after being taken to hospital on Sunday due to a big collision with Aidan Corr.

Marc Sheather | Foot | Season |
Angus Sheldrick | Ankle | Season |
Cooper Vickery | Foot | TBC |
Updated: July 25, 2023 |
Early prognosis
After a horror year with injury, the Swans now have only a handful of unavailable key players as they make an unlikely push for finals. Callum Mills will be a watch after experiencing some soreness ahead of the win over Fremantle while Lance Franklin suffered a knock to his knee against the Dockers, but both are expected to play.
