Ella Friend and Erin McKinnon will be available for selection this Thursday night after receiving respective treatment following last weekend’s match against Gold Coast. 

Friend was taken to Mackay Base Hospital for precautionary scans on her liver after being involved in two separate collisions either side of half-time, while McKinnon was similarly monitored by doctors after succumbing to heat stress in the final minute of the game.

The Saints will also regain Clara Fitzpatrick (personal leave) in time for Round 5.

Molly McDonald continues to be assessed after receiving a concussion in the club’s first home game of the season against Melbourne, while a timeframe on Grace Kelly’s return from an Achilles flare-up is yet to be determined.

Meanwhile, Tyanna Smith, Renee Saulitis and Jayde Van Dyk are in varying stages of their ACL recovery, with a potential return date for Smith at least a month away.
