Defender Sam Taylor is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks with scans confirming a fractured toe.

The All-Australian defender reported soreness post-match and scans earlier this week confirmed the extent of the injury.

Taylor will wear a moonboot for the next two weeks, before beginning to rebuild his training load.

Brent Daniels is set for another stint on the sidelines, with the small forward suffering an adductor tendon injury in Saturday’s win over the Lions.

Daniels will undergo further assessment before a recovery timeline is confirmed.

Young defender Conor Stone has also been sent for a scan, following a foot injury suffered in VFL on the weekend.

Meanwhile, both Toby Greene and Jake Stringer could be in line to return this weekend provided they get through Friday’s main training.

Vice-captain Stephen Coniglio has made further progress in his recovery from a long-term glute injury and is expected to train fully this week. The 31-year-old is targeting a return following the club’s bye.

The GIANTS will take on the Suns at ENGIE Stadium this Sunday.
