LANCE Franklin, Jesse Hogan, Stephen Hill, Jeremy Howe and more... some big names have been added to the injury list ahead of round 13.

Who will be right and who is struggling? We find out when your wounded stars will be back.

ADELAIDE

Player Injury Estimated Return Tom Doedee Knee Season Josh Jenkins Knee 2-4 weeks Tom Lynch Calf 1 week Ned McHenry Back 1-2 weeks Wayne Milera Back Test Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis Milera is in doubt for Friday night's clash with Geelong with a minor back injury. He aggravated his lower back in the round 13 win against Richmond and will be assessed at Wednesday's main training session. Lynch will miss a third straight game with a calf injury, but is expected to be available for the round 16 Showdown with Port Adelaide. McHenry has been ruled out of this weekend's SANFL game after injuring his lower back in a marking contest at training before the bye. Jenkins could be back in the next fortnight. He is out of a knee brace and will soon return to running on the Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill. - Lee Gaskin

BRISBANE

Player Injury Estimated Return Connor Ballenden Ankle Test Jarrod Berry Knee Test Tom Cutler Foot 2 weeks Ely Smith Foot Test Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis It's been a swift recovery for Berry, originally expected to miss six to eight weeks and now back within five. Amazing to think Brisbane could have just one player one its injury list entering this round. - Michael Whiting

CARLTON

Player Injury Estimated Return Sam Docherty Knee Indefinite Liam Stocker Foot 2 weeks Tom Williamson Back Indefinite Updated: Monday, June 24

Early prognosis The injury list is shortening at Carlton. Ed Curnow is fine, despite rolling his ankle a fortnight ago, while Liam Jones will also return this week from lingering concussion symptoms. However, it's unlikely Docherty or Williamson will be seen again this season. - Riley Beveridge

COLLINGWOOD

Player Injury Estimated Return Taylor Adams Groin 2 weeks Dayne Beams Hip 9-13 weeks Lynden Dunn Knee Season Jamie Elliott Hamstring 1 week Tyson Goldsack Achilles/calf Test Jeremy Howe Calf 2-3 weeks Will Kelly Leg 3-6 weeks Tom Langdon Knee Indefinite Nathan Murphy Ankle Indefinite Sam Murray Provisional ASADA suspension TBC Isaac Quaynor Groin Test Jaidyn Stephenson Suspended 9 weeks Daniel Wells Knee 9 weeks Rupert Wills Calf Test Tom Wilson Conditioning TBC Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis Howe is set to be sidelined for multiple weeks and Adams faces a similar recovery time, while Elliott will miss another one. A timeframe on Langdon is expected to become clearer in coming weeks. Goldsack, Quaynor and Wills will be assed for niggles, while Murphy's recovery has been slow and Kelly will also spend a considerable time on the sidelines. Stephenson will be available at finals time while Beams and Wells will race the clock to return before season's end, but the campaign seems over for fellow veteran Dunn after a second anterior cruciate ligament rupture in nine months. - Ben Collins

ESSENDON

Player Injury Estimated Return Joe Daniher Groin Season Sam Draper Knee Season Orazio Fantasia Soreness Test Matt Guelfi Concussion/ribs Test Devon Smith Knee Season James Stewart Groin Test Jake Stringer Leg TBC Brandon Zerk-Thatcher Hamstring Test Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis Stringer hasn't returned to running yet, such is the soreness in that lower leg injury he suffered against Hawthorn. The Bombers need him back but aren't pushing him. Guelfi has passed the concussion test but still has some sore ribs after crashing into the fence last week against West Coast so is touch-and-go. Coach John Worsfold highlighted Fantasia's sore body after his quiet display last week against the Eagles so he is also one to monitor given the games he's missed through injury this year. - Callum Twomey

FREMANTLE

Player Injury Estimated Return Harley Bennell Calf TBC Stefan Giro Knee Season Stephen Hill Hamstring 3 weeks Jesse Hogan Foot TBC Shane Kersten Foot TBC Rory Lobb Foot 2 weeks Alex Pearce Ankle Season Aaron Sandilands Calf TBC Matt Taberner Foot Season Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis It was a tough day on the injury front on Saturday with Hogan becoming the latest tall to go down, Hill suffering another soft-tissue setback and Bennell's calf nightmare continuing at Peel. The Dockers will be crossing their fingers Lobb and Sandilands can get back within the next month. - Travis King

GEELONG

Player Injury Estimated Return Nakia Cockatoo Knee 4-6 weeks Jordan Cunico Ankle 4-6 weeks Lachie Henderson Shoulder Test Sam Menegola Knee 2-3 weeks Quinton Narkle Hamstring Test Gary Rohan Concussion 1 week Esava Ratugolea Hamstring 2-3 weeks Updated: Thursday, June 27

Early prognosis Rohan failed to train on Tuesday and has since been ruled out of Friday night's clash against the Crows after a head knock last week. Ratugolea had been given the green light to return but suffered another hamstring setback late in Tuesday's session. - Mitch Cleary

GOLD COAST

Player Injury Estimated Return Ben Ainsworth Foot 4 weeks Jack Bowes Quad 4 weeks Sam Collins Hip 1-2 weeks Sam Fletcher Quad 2-3 weeks Pearce Hanley Quad Test Sean Lemmens Ankle 1 week Jordan Murdoch Foot Test Izak Rankine Hamstring Test Josh Schoenfeld Knee 3-5 weeks Rory Thompson Knee Season Harrison Wigg Knee Season Aaron Young Knee Test Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis The list is slowly whittling down with Touk Miller back from a quad problem and Hanley and Murdoch both expected to be available. Rankine will play his first game in the NEAFL after successive hamstring injuries have sidelined him since the pre-season. - Michael Whiting

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY

Player Injury Estimated Return Jye Caldwell Calf 1-2 weeks Aidan Corr Calf 1 week Matt de Boer Shoulder 8 weeks Lachlan Keeffe Broken hand 4 weeks Xavier O'Halloran Knee 6 weeks Jonathon Patton Knee TBC Zac Sproule Knee 3 weeks Callan Ward Knee Season Lachie Whitfield Collarbone 2 weeks Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis Whitfield is back training and could be ready to play in the next fortnight if he can get through some contact work without any issues with his collarbone. Tommy Sheridan will line up in the reserves after recovering from his calf injury, while Corr and Caldwell will be another week or two away. - Adam Curley

HAWTHORN

Player Injury Estimated Return Changkuoth Jiath Jaw 2-4 weeks Jacob Koschitzke Hip Test Tom Mitchell Broken leg Indefinite Tim Mohr Dislocated knee/ACL Season Jack Scrimshaw Knee 1-2 weeks Ben Stratton Suspension 1 week Mathew Walker Concussion Test Chad Wingard Hamstring 1-2 weeks Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis Grant Birchall (calf) played two quarters in his first game for 720 days in the VFL on Saturday and will increase his game time at the same level this weekend. Darren Minchington (hamstring) was also back in action in the same match. Neither Wingard nor Scrimshaw has progressed enough from their respective setbacks and face more time on the sidelines. Scrimshaw is at least into some skills work. Rookie-listed Jiath copped a knee to the head in the opening minutes of the VFL and will miss several weeks, while Walker and Koschitzke could both return at state league standard. Birchall, Wingard, Jarryd Roughead, James Cousins, Marc Pittonet and Harry Jones were among those on light duties at Tuesday's session. - Marc McGowan

MELBOURNE

Kade Chandler Hip Test Jeff Garlett Shoulder Season Michael Hibberd Collarbone Test Neville Jetta Knee 2-3 weeks Kade Kolodjashnij Head TBC Declan Keilty Ankle 3-4 weeks Jake Lever Knee 1-2 weeks Jake Melksham Foot 4-6 weeks Aaron Nietschke Knee Season Joel Smith Groin Season Tom Sparrow Knee 4-6 weeks Billy Stretch Foot 2-3 weeks Aaron vandenBerg Ankle TBC Guy Walker Shoulder Indefinite Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis A few familiar names have re-joined Melbourne's injury list. Hibberd needed a minor operation two weeks ago to re-attach a plate to his previously broken collarbone but is a chance to play this week, while Lever has suffered bone bruising to his reconstructed knee. Garlett and Smith's seasons are over, while Melksham remains at least a month away. - Sarah Black

NORTH MELBOURNE

Player Injury Estimated Return Majak Daw Pelvis/hips Indefinite Aaron Hall Knee 1-2 weeks Shaun Higgins AC joint 4-5 weeks Ben Jacobs Head/neck Indefinite Jamie Macmillan Calf Test Tom McKenzie Back TBC Bailey Scott Foot Indefinite Dom Tyson Calf Test Ed Vickers-Willis Knee Season Will Walker Knee Indefinite Tom Wilkinson Ankle 1-2 weeks Sam Wright Ankle Test Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis Hall could be just one week away from returning to action after hurting his medial collateral ligament in his left knee in the VFL a fortnight ago. That is good news after initial fears he had suffered a serious setback. Macmillan's now had three weeks off and will push to return for Saturday night's clash with Collingwood. Tyson and Wright will also look to resume from multiple-game absences, albeit in the VFL. Higgins remains at least a month from being back. - Marc McGowan

PORT ADELAIDE

Player Injury Estimated Return Karl Amon Suspension Round 16 Matthew Broadbent Mental health Indefinite Dougal Howard Suspension Round 16 Jake Patmore Knee Season Tom Rockliff Hamstring Test Jack Trengove Leg Indefinite Jack Watts Leg Indefinite Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis Rockliff is expected to return to football this weekend after missing the past four weeks with a hamstring injury. He's likely to be brought back through the SANFL, as the Power did with Ollie Wines and Brad Ebert. Amon and Howard have accepted one-game suspensions from the Power's 11-point win against Geelong. They will be available for Showdown 47 against crosstown rival Adelaide in round 16. - Lee Gaskin

RICHMOND

Player Injury Estimated Return David Astbury Hamstring Available Trent Cotchin Hamstring Test Shane Edwards Hamstring Test Luke English Shoulder 1 week Kane Lambert Achilles Test Oleg Markov Suspension Round 16 Callum Moore Ankle 5-6 weeks Toby Nankervis Adductor 3-4 weeks Marlion Pickett Finger 4-5 weeks Alex Rance Knee Season Jack Riewoldt PCL 2-3 weeks Jack Ross Ankle 4-5 weeks Jayden Short Elbow Test Ivan Soldo Illness Available Fraser Turner Leg 4-5 weeks Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis The cavalry is on its way. Richmond is poised to regain a host of top-end players for its match against St Kilda, but the soft-tissue trio – Cotchin, Edwards and Lambert – will have to get through training this week. Short could return at either VFL or AFL level after dislocating his elbow in round three. Riewoldt and Nankervis have returned to running at top speed, Ross has moved from the weight-bearing Alter-G treadmill to outdoor running, while draftee Turner has developed bone stress in his femur. Recruit Pickett will have a wire removed from his finger next week. - Sarah Black

ST KILDA

Player Injury Estimated Return Logan Austin Shoulder Indefinite Jack Bytel Back Season Jarryn Geary Leg 8-10 weeks Max King Ankle Season Billy Longer Concussion TBC Jack Lonie Knee 1-2 weeks Paddy McCartin Concussion Season Ed Phillips Hamstring Test Lewis Pierce Concussion TBC Dylan Roberton Heart Season Jack Steele Knee 1-2 weeks Jack Steven Mental health 2-4 weeks Jimmy Webster Hand Test Brandon White Thigh Test Updated: Tuesday , June 25

Early prognosis Right ankle surgery for King means he's unlikely to return this year. Webster and White need to prove their fitness. The Saints can ill-afford an injury to Rowan Marshall, because Pierce and Longer face uncertain futures with concussion. - Dinny Navaratnam

SYDNEY

Player Injury Estimated Return Darcy Cameron Quad 2-3 weeks Harry Cunningham Adductor 1-2 weeks Lance Franklin Hamstring 3-4 weeks Jack Maibaum Knee Season Jarrad McVeigh Hamstring Test Sam Naismith Knee TBC Nick Smith Hamstring Season Durak Tucker Knee TBC Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis Franklin is at least a month away with his left hamstring problem, with the Swans' round 19 clash with Geelong at the SCG his likely return game if his rehab goes well. McVeigh has made a good recovery from his own hamstring issue and is back training, so shouldn't be far away from a return to the field. Cunningham is also a chance to play in the next fortnight. - Adam Curley

WEST COAST

Player Injury Estimated Return Tom Barrass Foot Test Patrick Bines Hernia TBC Harry Edwards Foot TBC Jeremy McGovern Suspension Round 16 Daniel Venables Concussion TBC Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis Barrass is expected to return at AFL level against Hawthorn, provided the corked calf he picked up late in his WAFL comeback on Saturday won't hamper him this Saturday. He could be needed to replace McGovern, if his Tribunal challenge fails. - Travis King

WESTERN BULLDOGS

Player Injury Estimated Return Billy Gowers Ankle 2-4 weeks Tom Liberatore Knee 3-5 weeks Brad Lynch Foot Test Dale Morris Knee Test Fergus Greene Shoulder Season Mitch Wallis Ankle 2-3 weeks Lukas Webb Ankle 3-5 weeks Updated: Tuesday, June 25

Early prognosis Veteran defender Morris is an incident-free week at training away from being selected, most likely at VFL level, only 106 days after a knee injury that threatened to end the 36-year-old's career. The timeframe on Liberatore's return has been determined at around a month, while Greene requires surgery on a shoulder issue that hasn't improved in the past fortnight following the incident. - Paul Bastin

*Placed on the club's long-term injury list
