The Bombers could regain three players this week, with Amber Clarke, Georgia Gee and Paige Scott all a test for the clash with St Kilda.
Gee suffered calf tightness during the week one clash with Fremantle and was a late out for the game against West Coast.
While Clarke is in line to return following the concussion she suffered in week one, Scott could line up for their first game of 2024 after suffering a foot injury in the pre-season.
Head of Medical Services Megan Smith said the club was pleased with the trio’s progress.
“We were disappointed that Georgia couldn’t get up for our game against West Coast, but it was great to see Chloe Adams come into the side to make her debut,” Smith said.
“Georgia, Paige and Amber have all been diligent with their rehab and are progressing well towards being available for selection this weekend.”
In other news, Bess Keaney will also be a test for the game against the Saints, with the 32-year-old suffering a knock to her calf in Saturday’s game against West Coast.
