Three GIANTS could return to the action this week, with Ollie Hannaford, Jake Riccardi and Kieren Briggs all a chance to make their respective returns this weekend.
Hannaford is looking to return after more than a month on the sidelines with a foot injury, while Riccardi hasn't featured since injuring his ankle in round 11.
Briggs meanwhile has missed the past two weeks due to an infected wound on his leg.
The trio will need to complete this week’s training schedule to prove their readiness for a return to play.
Darcy Jones continues to train fully with the main group, with a decision regarding his return to play to be made in the coming weeks.
Captain Toby Greene will return to running this week as he continues to work through his rehabilitation plan for a quad injury.
Brent Daniels successfully returned to running last week and will continue to be managed accordingly for his calf injury, while Jack Buckley is expected to return to running this week.
James Leake did not feature at AFL or VFL level last week after bone stress was detected in his leg late in the week. He will continue to be assessed on a week-to-week basis, with a return-to-play timeline to be determined once his symptoms settle.
Finn Callaghan (ankle), Leek Aleer (groin), Logan Smith (knee) and Jesse Hogan (finger) won’t feature again this season after being ruled out for the remainder of the 2026 season with their respective injuries.
The GIANTS will travel to Adelaide this week to take on the Power at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night.
