GIANTS veteran Ryan Griffen is 1-2 weeks away from a return to the field as the remainder of the list receives a clean bill of health.

Apart from season-ending injuries to defenders Matt Buntine and Adam Kennedy, Griffen is the only other player on the club’s injury list ahead of the first Qualifying Final Thursday week.

Griffen suffered back-to-back syndesmosis ankle injuries and last played at senior level in round three but has returned to the main group for training in recent weeks.

Toby Greene has been given the all clear after a knock to the back early in the GIANTS’ loss to Geelong on Saturday night.

The tough forward played out the game.

The GiANTS take on the Adelaide Crows in a Qualifying Final on Thursday, September 7.
