As confirmed on Sunday, midfielder Josh Kelly and defender Jack Buckley are expected to miss the remainder of the home and away season after the duo suffered calf strains in Friday night’s 44-point win over the Swans. 

The pair will complete a diligent rehabilitation to be best placed for a return later in the season, should the GIANTS continue their surge for September and book themselves a spot in the finals. 

Brent Daniels continues to aim for a similar return, with the small forward to continue to progress in his individualised training program. 

Meanwhile, medium-forward Nathan Wardius is a test to return to the VFL this weekend. 

The GIANTS will return to Marvel Stadium for their second Thursday night primetime fixture to take on the Western Bulldogs.  

Injury List – 29 July
