Players have returned to the Club after a well-deserved break following Collingwood’s Round 13 clash against Melbourne.

Jeremy Howe (Arm) has  taken part in full training for over a month. Howe will be available for selection this week after missing 12 games due to his injury in Collingwood’s Round One clash against Geelong.

Joe Richards (Hamstring) has spent eight weeks on the sidelines due to an injured hamstring. In good news, Richards was sprinting at 100% speed prior to the bye round and will be available for selection this week.

Jamie Elliott (Shoulder) participated in full contact training today and pulled up from the session well. He will be assessed prior to Sunday’s clash against Adelaide. 

Dan McStay (Infection) recently suffered a setback on his finger injury. The Club will provide an update on McStay next week. He is on track to be available for selection between Rounds 16-18.

Steele Sidebottom (Knee) is still in his knee brace and is tracking well. He has been able to start gymnastics, running mechanics, jumping and landing. All things going well, he will commence a running program next week. Steele is working towards a return in Round 18. 

Charlie Dean (Foot) has completed two running sessions across the last two weeks, with the aim to increase to three sessions next week. Dean remains on the long-term injury list.
