Emerging ruckman Tim English will return to availability this weekend after missing Sunday’s clash against the Giants, due to illness.

Removed from the side on Sunday morning after falling ill the night prior, English returned to training on Tuesday morning and looks likely to head to Mars Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Similarly, Billy Gowers will be available for selection this weekend after being ruled out of the Footscray v North Melbourne VFL match on Sunday afternoon.

Meanwhile, midfielder Lin Jong will be sidelined for the next two weeks after suffering a low-grade hamstring injury during training last week.

Jong will progress into training next week and is expected to return to availability the following week.
