A number of Bulldogs will be tested ahead of a bumper clash against Geelong on Friday night.
Ed Richards will train tomorrow and be a test after suffering an ankle injury against Hawthorn.
"Scans cleared Ed of any serious bone damage to his ankle over the weekend," Head of Sports Medicine Chris Bell said.
"He still has some swelling and pain associated with his injury. He will train Wednesday and be a test prior to the Geelong game."
Tim English continues to improve from his knee injury a fortnight ago and will be monitored.
“Tim is progressing well from his knee injury from the Essendon fixture, so we will continue to monitor him," Bell said.
"He’ll be assessed to train on Wednesday before determining availability for the weekend."
Tom Liberatore has made great strides in his recovery from a hamstring injury and is a chance to face the Cats.
“Tom has progressed well from his hamstring injury, completing a match-like session on Saturday. If Tom gets through training like I expect, he’ll put his hand up for selection," Bell said.
Aaron Naughton took a knock to his hand during last weekend’s loss and will train tomorrow.
“Aaron underwent a precautionary scan on his hand after a knock during the game," Bell added.
"Aaron is currently planned to train on Wednesday."
In other news, Connor Budarick will miss some football after injuring his hamstring in the late stages of the loss to the Hawks.
“Scans have revealed a low-grade injury to Connor’s hamstring," Bell said.
"Connor will miss some football and we expect to see him back in the red, white and blue within the next 3-4 weeks."
