Hundreds of deserving community sporting clubs that missed out on funding because they were not in marginal federal electorates could receive cash over the coming year as Prime Minister Scott Morrison attempts to limit the political damage from the so-called sports rorts saga.

Mr Morrison promised on Tuesday his government would look to fund many "worthy" projects in the months to come as he also attempted to distance his office from the scandal that has plagued the Coalition for two weeks.

But the future of embattled cabinet minister Bridget McKenzie may not become clear until the weekend, as Mr Morrison attempts to minimise the potential internal fall-out should a review into his administration of the scheme find she breached ministerial standards.

Senior Coalition sources told The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald Mr Morrison wanted a clear-cut result from a departmental report - whichever way it fell - to ensure he was not left open to accusations the Nationals minister had been treated differently from any Liberal.
