Jye Menzie is set to miss the next two weeks after injuring his shoulder early in the Bombers' round five win over the Bulldogs.

The 21-year-old played out the rest of Friday's game following the knock, but has pulled up quite sore and will be unavailable in the short-term.

Matt Guelfi is recovering well from the calf strain that’s sidelined him since round two.

The pressure forward is hoping to be available to play on Anzac Day, pending how he gets through training over the coming fortnight.

Key defender Zach Reid continues to progress well through his rehab program.

His previous injury history means the club will ensure he gets a quality block of training under his belt before he returns to play, with his training loads gradually increasing in recent weeks.

Dylan Shiel made a successful return from an oblique strain via the VFL last Friday, accumulating 18 disposals and six clearances on managed minutes against Footscray.

Tex Wanganeen was another who returned through the reserves after a lengthy layoff from foot surgery, playing the second half of the game.
