The Bombers are set to welcome back a number of players for their round 16 clash with North Melbourne on Sunday.

Andy McGrath and Jye Caldwell have both made full recoveries from their respective injuries and will be available for selection this weekend.

Isaac Kako and Darcy Parish have returned to full training and are expected to be available this week, pending a successful main training session on Thursday. 

Angus Clarke, Matt Guelfi and Vigo Visentini are also set to return to action via the VFL this weekend after successfully progressing through their rehab programs.

Archie Roberts has responded incredibly well to the initial phase of his rehabilitation program following the shoulder dislocation he sustained in round 14. He will continue to strengthen the shoulder and integrate back into training with the aim to return to play in the coming weeks.

Scans have confirmed a quad strain for Kyle Langford, expected to spend the next two-to-three weeks on the sidelines.
