Richmond pair Liam Fawcett and Jack Ross are considered good chances to return to football after long injury lay-offs this weekend.

Fawcett (back stress fracture) has not played a game for Richmond at any level since being selected in last year’s National Draft, while Ross (foot) has not played since Round 5.

The duo will need to complete training on Tuesday and Thursday to be selected for Sunday’s VFL game against Sandringham, a game which each would play managed minutes in.

Youngsters Tom Brown and Steely Green however will be out for the remainder of the season, following ankle injuries in Sunday’s loss to North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium.

Brown and Green both came from the field during the third quarter, with Green’s lower functionality meaning he was subbed out of the contest.

While Brown was able to move freely throughout the final term, scans have unfortunately revealed a syndesmosis injury that would likely keep him sidelined for six weeks.

Scans revealed a more moderate syndesmosis injury for Green; however, his injury has been compounded by damage to his toe suffered in the same tackle.

The youngster who has played six AFL games this season, including the past four will be in a moonboot for the next three weeks before stepping up his rehabilitation, thus ending his season.

Tom Lynch will be integrated into some full training involvement this week after recovering well from a high-load session on Saturday.

The Club will monitor Lynch throughout the week before deciding his availability for the last fortnight of the year.

Kane McAuliffe is a test for this weekend after he suffered a minor hip strain at training last week. The youngster will need to prove his fitness by being able to move freely and without restriction on the track this week.

Marlion Pickett will also need to have a good week at training to be considered for selection after experiencing hamstring soreness last week.
