The Bombers could regain forward Amber Clarke for their clash with North Melbourne this Sunday at Windy Hill.
Clarke suffered a knee injury against the Gold Coast in round 6B and has progressed well with her rehabilitation.
Head of Medical Services Megan Smith said Clarke will be available for selection if she gets through training this week.
“It is great that we could see Amber return this weekend against North. She’s been very diligent with her recovery and is progressing well,” Smith said.
