Geelong could regain as many as four players for its clash with Carlton this Saturday night.
Cats young guns Brandan Parfitt and Nakia Cockatoo are in line to return from hamstring issues to give the side some much needed pace and energy following the loss to Adelaide on Friday night.
Parfitt returned to the senior side in Round 17 following a nine game layoff with a serious hamstring injury. However, he missed last week's clash with hamstring soreness after just one game back, while Cockatoo, who has been out since injuring his hamstring against West Coast in Round 13 is also looking ready to return.
โNakia and Brandan, they both ran fast and comfortably today. Theyโve been training with the boys for a couple of weeks,โ Geelong physio Mark Young told the club's website.
โTheyโll both be tests this weekend. The signs are good.โ
Young defender Tom Ruggles could also return after recovering from a shoulder injury.
โTom Ruggles had surgery on his AC joint a few weeks ago. Heโs been working through contact and football training now,โ Young said.
โHeโs looking good. Heโs also a test.โ
