Midfielder Richard Douglas will be sidelined for up to six weeks with a foot injury.

Douglas was able to play out the game against Port Adelaide on Sunday but has a strained plantar fascia, which is the thick connective tissue that supports the arch on the bottom of the foot.

Crows Head of Football David Noble said the injury required a period of rest to heal.

“It looks like ‘Dougy’ has a strain to his Plantar Fascia,” Noble said.

“Unfortunately, that could be a 4-6 week injury.”

Rory Sloane and Ricky Henderson will both need to pass fitness tests to play against Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium on Saturday evening.

Sloane was substituted in the fourth quarter of Adelaide’s Showdown loss because of a corked calf. Henderson also finished the game on the bench after suffering a knock to his chest.

Young defender Sam Siggins (buttock) and rookie-listed ruckman Jack Osborn will also be assessed during the week ahead of Adelaide’s SANFL clash with Norwood. Talls Luke Lowden and Mitch McGovern made successful returns from injury in the Club’s loss to South Adelaide on Sunday.

Utility James Podsiadly will miss another fortnight with a fracture in his back. Riley Knight (ankle) and Sam Shaw (hamstring) are only a few weeks away from returning from long-term injuries. Young onballers Brad Crouch (foot) and Rory Atkins both aim to be back in between 3-5 weeks.

Andy Otten (knee), Harry Dear (shoulder) and Brent Reilly, who is on the long-term injury list recuperating from a fractured skull, remain longer-term propositions.
