North Melbourne star Harry Sheezel is touch-and-go to play in Sunday's clash with Western Bulldogs due to an ankle injury suffered against West Coast on Saturday.
The No.3 picked up the injury in the first half at Blundstone Arena, but managed to play out the contest, finishing with 31 disposals and two goals.
"Harry suffered an ankle injury while attempting to smother a ball with his foot," North Melbourne head of performance Kevin White told NMFC Media.
"He has been put in a moonboot to offload that foot for conservative management and to enable greater recovery."
Defender Zac Fisher is ready to go for the weekend having missed the past three AFL games due to a foot complaint.
"Zac has had a strong 10-day period where he has been in group training and functioning at a high level," White said.
"He trained today and will look to press his case once again on Thursday."
Tough onballer George Wardlaw has passed through concussion assessments after sustaining a head knock against Geelong in Round 20.
The second-year Roo trained with the group on Tuesday.
"Providing he pulls up well from Thursday's main session, he'll be up for selection this weekend," White said.
