Young gun Cody Angove could play his first game of the season this weekend after being sidelined for the first 10 games of the season with a hamstring injury.
The 19-year-old suffered a hamstring injury in the club’s pre-season match against the Pies in February, which required surgery to repair.
Harry Rowston is also expected to return this week after an infection in his knee ruled him out of last week’s action.
Key defender Jack Buckley will also be a test as he continues to manage the hamstring soreness that ruled him out of Sunday’s game against the Eagles.
Jesse Hogan has begun a block of reconditioning following a hip pointer injury, with the key forward to return in the next 1-3 weeks.
Sam Taylor will continue to increase his participation in team training, as the star defender builds towards a much-anticipated return.
Ruck utility Leek Aleer continues his rehabilitation following his ankle and lower leg injury.
Ryan Angwin has returned to the rehab report after suffering a fractured knuckle in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles.
The in-form midfielder has been placed in a splint and is expected to be available post bye.
Emerging ruck Nick Madden will be assessed by the club doctor this week to determine his progression following a PCL injury.
Meanwhile, a timeline has been set for Xavier O’Halloran following his syndesmosis surgery.
The GIANTS will host the reigning premiers at ENGIE Stadium this Sunday in week two of Sir Doug Nicholls Round.
