Liam Jones remains a chance to return for this weekend’s clash against Sydney at the SCG on Sunday afternoon.

The defender suffered a moderate-grade medial ligament injury a fortnight ago and will need to prove his fitness to face the Swans.

“Liam Jones has been progressing well following his medial ligament knee injury,” Head of Sports Medicine, Chris Bell said.

“He has pulled up well after completing a match parameters training session on Saturday.

“He still needs to tick some boxes for us during our main training session on Friday before we can confirm his availability for this weekend.”

James O’Donnell is at least another week away with a hamstring issue.
