The midfield trio of Tom Campbell, Bailey Williams and Mitch Honeychurch are all expected to return from injury this weekend after varying stints on the sidelines.
24-year-old ruckman Campbell had been sidelined by a stress fracture to his heel, and is expected to line-up for his first match in a month this weekend.
Honeychurch had been kept out of action by a hamstring strain, while a medial ligament injury had prevented Bailey Williams from taking to the field.
“They’ve all progressed really well through their training and their rehab,” Bulldogs General Manager, Football Graham Lowe told BulldogsTV.
“So subject to them completing their training and ticking their final boxes (this week) they’ll all be available for selection this weekend.”
Meanwhile, midfield pair Tom Liberatore and Jack Macrae continue to make good progress in their rehabilitation from respective ankle and hamstring injuries sustained in the round 19 match against Geelong.
“Both Jack and Tom are progressing really well, and we remain optimistic that they’ll contribute to our finals series.”
Dale Morris will continue to be monitored through the week to assess his availability to face the Bombers on Sunday afternoon after missing Friday night’s clash against Collingwood.
“Moz is continuing to carry some back related hamstring tightness,” Lowe said.
“He’s an integral player for us so we’ll manage and monitor him over this week with a view to confirming his availability for this weekend."
Marcus Adams is another who continues to be monitored in his return from a foot injury.
Adams will miss the remaining two home and away season matches as the Club looks to advance his training for a finals series return.
“Marcus has had a slower recovery than we’ve hoped for, and we’ve taken a cautious approach (with his rehabilitation).
“We’re aiming to progress his training over the next few weeks with a view to him playing a role in our finals series.”
