Essendon could regain Jade Gresham for Dreamtime at the ‘G on Friday night.
The small forward has overcome the adductor strain that’s sidelined him for the last two weeks. He is back in full training and is available for selection to face Richmond in the marquee Sir Doug Nicholls Round fixture.
In further positive news, Darcy Parish is set for his first match minutes of 2025, having overcome early season back and calf setbacks.
The midfielder is likely to return via the VFL Dreamtime clash on Saturday night, with the Dons facing the Tigers’ VFL team at Kinetic Stadium from 7:10pm AEST.
Harry Jones has transitioned out of his moonboot following an ankle dislocation and minor foot fracture in round eight. An accurate return-to-play timeline will be determined once he commences running again.
First-year defender Jayden Nguyen will miss the next seven weeks after scans revealed a bone stress injury in his foot.
