A number of stars are closing in on their returns, with Mitch Owens, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera and Liam Ryan all looking to make themselves available next week.
Dan Butler has been named a test to return this week after recovering from a hamstring injury suffered against Carlton, with the forward now needing to get through main training this week to put his hand up for this weekend.
Defender Dougal Howard is set for a stint on the sidelines after sustaining a moderate-grade calf strain in the Saints’ loss to the Dockers on Friday.
Howard left the game in the third quarter and was unable to return, with his timeline set to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
Jack Higgins timeline has become clear after a successful procedure on his knee last week, while Max King and Kye Fincher continue to progress through their respective rehabilitation programs.
Hunter Clark is also progressing well through his rehabilitation, beginning running on the AlterG treadmill.
