Essendon forward Michael Hurley has been cleared of any serious damage to his wrist and is expected to be available for selection against St. Kilda this weekend.

Hurley fell heavily on his wrist following a marking contest late in Friday night’s dramatic win against Fremantle at Patersons Stadium.

Football Operations manager Steve Alessio told BomberTV Hurley was a chance to line up on Saturday.

“He has had some scans and they have ruled out any broken bone which is great news as we thought there might have been some issues with his wrist,” Alessio said.

“He will train during the week, test out the wrist which is still a bit sore from the fall and hopefully he comes up ready and raring to go for the St. Kilda game this weekend.”

Veteran defender Dustin Fletcher is in doubt for the clash with St. Kilda after being subbed out against Fremantle with groin soreness.

“Fletch’s groin was a bit sore and he wasn’t able to complete the game, we think that he will be doubtful for the St. Kilda game,” Alessio said.

In other injury news Alex Browne has a minor hamstring strain that saw him miss the weekend’s VFL clash against Box Hill at Windy Hill.

“Alex aggravated his hamstring at training late in the week which put him out of the game before the team ran onto the field,” Alessio said.

Browne will be monitored at training throughout the week in the lead up to Saturday afternoon’s match against Casey Scorpions.
