AS CONFIRMED on Tuesday morning, Jake Lever will line-up for the Demons in Round 20, but Ben Brown won’t return for at least one more match.
The key duo were withdrawn from Melbourne’s side last weekend, with Lever recovering quickly from his shoulder soreness.
The club will take a more cautious approach with Brown’s knee, managing the forward throughout the week with the hope to get him firing against the Magpies.
Fraser Rosman proved to be the main casualty from the weekend, straining his hamstring at VFL level.
The young left footer will miss the next four to six weeks of action.
Joel Smith is available for selection after a stint on the sidelines with an ankle injury, while Deakyn Smith is set to return to full contact training next week and should only miss one more game with his jaw.
James Jordon, who played out the match against the Dogs after an early knock to the knee, is in the clear to face Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
Watch below as Dr. Laura Lallenec provides an update on the club’s full injury list.
