Carlton pair Will Hayward and Nick Haynes have been listed as tests for the club's upcoming Elimination Final with Geelong.
Both players' ankles will be put through their paces during the club's main training session on Wednesday before Carlton will make a decision on their availability for the game on Friday night.
Haynes and Hayward both injured their ankles during the club's Round 23 draw with the Western Bulldogs.
Medium forward Hayward was a chance to return to the side for last weekend's Wildcard Final against Melbourne, but didn't do enough to convince the Blues medical team.
Defender Haynes was selected in the 23 and played a key role in Carlton's victory.
However, the 34-year-old was seen hobbling multiple times throughout the first half and had to convince the medical team he was alright to play more than once on the boundary line during the match.
Both Haynes and Hayward will be crucial if the Blues are to produce an upset Elimination Final victory over Geelong.
Brisbane star Hugh McCluggage has been ticked off to be available for selection for the Lions' Qualifying Final against Sydney on Saturday afternoon.
McCluggage has battled consistent calf injuries throughout the year, but is expected to immediately return to the starting lineup.
Who goes out for McCluggage will be an interesting watch with key defenders Ty Gallop or Darcy Gardiner the most likely to face the axe.
Hawthorn has added ruck Ned Reeves and defender Jack Scrimshaw to its injury list.
Reeves took a knock to the throat during Box Hill's Qualifying Final against Werribee at the weekend with an estimated return not yet known.
Scrimshaw's knee injury prevented him from playing in that same game, with a timeline for his return also unclear at this stage.
“Ned had a knock to his throat and has been off for a scan, and he's got an injury to his larynx," Hawthorn high performance manager Peter Burge said.
"We're going to get some further information and send him to a specialist to see what that actually means, but this week he won't be playing football.
“(Scrimshaw) trained last week on Tuesday, and trained well and felt really good, and did a training session Thursday night with Box Hill, was preparing to play on the weekend, didn't quite feel as good in that session, didn't finish the session, and we just made the decision that he wasn't ready to play.
"We'll progress his training over the week, and see how it responds, how his knee responds, and then we'll make an assessment next week to his availability again, leading into the games next week, the VFL Preliminary Final, obviously, and we've also got an AFL team, playing this week as well.
"But for him, it's progression of training this week, and then we'll reassess into next week.”
