Sydney has received positive newsย on the injury front, with Kurt Tippett and Callum Mills a chance to play again in 2016.

Both Tippett and Mills have been ruled out for this week's do or die semifinal against the Crows at the SCG, however, remain a chance to return should the Swans advance to the semifinal.

Tippett consulted a surgeon on Monday afternoon and has avoided surgery after suffering a hairline fracture in his jaw.

โ€œHe wonโ€™t play this week and weโ€™ll assess what his return-to-play timeline is after that, but some positive news there with Kurt for sure,โ€ General Manager of Football Tom Harley said.

Harley also confirmed that Mills could return if the Swans advance.

โ€œItโ€™s a grade one strain, which is the lowest strain you can have in a hamstring, so heโ€™s a one-to-two week (injury) and also a bit like Kurt in that the prognosis is more positive post-scans than it perhaps was during the game,โ€ Harley said.
