West Coast midfielder Mia Russo is set for a stint on the sidelines after sustaining a hamstring injury during the Western Derby.

Russo has begun her recovery well, making a successful return to running this week as she continues building strength and fitness.

"Mia has made progress as she recovers from her hamstring injury, completing her first run yesterday and continuing to build strength in the gym," Batterton said.

Long term rehabilitation pair Lily Smart and Mikayla Western also continue to make encouraging progress in their recoveries.

"Lily is progressing well through the early phases of her rehab and is continuing to build strength as she prepares for a return to running," Batterton said.

"Mikayla has continued building her training involvement and is making good progress in the gym.

"She'll look to keep progressing her contact work within training for the remainder of the AFLW season."
