TWO DEES stars will face fitness tests later this week, as the club prepares for a clash with the Western Bulldogs off a six-day break.
Clayton Oliver, who missed Sunday’s win over Port Adelaide with a thumb injury, completed his conditioning sessions last week and has integrated into skills training.
He will be tested later this week, as will Jake Lever, who injured his shoulder in the first quarter on the weekend.
Scans have cleared Lever of substantial damage, but he will be managed conservatively across the week and reviewed day-by-day.
In positive news, Harrison Petty will be available after missing one game with Health and Safety Protocols.
Joel Smith will miss just one more match, scheduled to complete a game volume session at the end of the week, while Deakyn Smith has recovered from jaw surgery and entered a phase of non-contact training.
Watch below as Performance Manager Selwyn Griffith provides an update on the club’s full injury list.
