Despite his injury Charlie Dixon still remains a chance to play against the Bombers at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.
Should Dixon not be successful in proving his fitness for the game, he looks set to be joined by Matthew Warnock and potentially Harley Bennell and Jesse Lonergan in being available for the Round 13 match at Metricon Stadium against the Crows.
General Manager Football Operations, Marcus Ashcroft confirmed to goldcoastfc.com.au that the return of Bennell, Lonergan and Warnock was imminent.
"Harley and Jesse are both at similar stages of their rehabilitation following hamstring injuries and if everything goes well we could see them play after the bye."
Warnock is also expected to return after the mid-season break.
"Matthew remains on schedule to return following the break. Fortunately because of the nature of Matthew's injury he has been able to retain his physical fitness however it is likely that he will need to regain some match fitness after missing eight games," Ashcroft said.
Defender Henry Schade injured his ankle is Saturday's NEAFL match against the Sydney Swans. Scans on the day confirmed ligament damage but Schade will require further scans to determine the full extent of the injury.
