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.

Midfielder Georgia Gee is also a test for the clash with the Kangaroos, with the 24-year-old suffering an adductor tendinopathy last week.
Defender Brooke Sheridan will be on the sidelines for at least a week after suffering a corked calf in Saturday’s scrimmage match.
