Waalitj Marawar midfielder Kayla Dalgleish is a chance to return this weekend as she enters the final stages of her recovery from a hamstring injury.

Dalgleish has continued to build her training loads and will need to complete main training this week to be available for Sunday's clash against Naarm.

"Kayla has continued to progress nicely in her reintegration to team training and will need to complete main training this week to be available for the game on Sunday," High Performance Manager Sam Batterton said.

Roxy Roux is being assessed after being managed last week due to lower back soreness.

"Roxy has been battling some lower back pain and for that reason we opted to give her the week off,” Batterton said.

“We'll assess her fitness at the back end of this week."

Recruit Jovie Skewes-Clinton will also be assessed ahead of Sunday’s game after missing last week’s clash against Kuwarna with foot soreness.

"Jovie reported some foot pain last week and was unavailable to make the trip to Adelaide as we let that settle," Batterton said.

"Scans were reassuring and we'll look to build her into training as tolerated."

Key defender Beth Schilling will spend a short stint on the sidelines after being unavailable for last weekend's clash.

"Beth sustained a low-grade quad strain at training last week and therefore was unavailable to play on the weekend," Batterton said.

"She is back running and we expect her to only miss one more week."

Liz McGrath remains sidelined with a hamstring injury and is now expected to be another few weeks away, while Lily Paterson continues to make progress in her recovery from a hip injury.

"Liz has progressed slightly slower than anticipated and therefore will be around two to three weeks away," Batterton said.

"Lily is still building her capacity in the gym before we progress to on ground running."

Jess Rentsch has been given a three-to-four week timeline to return, with the defender making encouraging progress in her rehabilitation from a foot injury.

"Jess has progressed really well over the last week and has completed a successful on ground run," Batterton said.
