SAM Mitchell and Paul Puopolo are both expected to return for Saturday's clash with Carlton at the MCG.
Mitchell (illness) and Puopolo (ankle) both missed the Hawks' win against Brisbane Lions on the weekend, but GM - Football Operations Chris Fagan says both should return.
Matt Spangher also got a game under his belt at VFL level for Box Hill Hawks after overcoming a hamstring injury, and Fagan believes with another week at VFL level, the premiership defender could be pressing for senior selection come the first week of finals.
Jon Ceglar (back) and Jed Anderson (hamstring soreness) both missed Box Hill's match on the weekend, and are expected to be fit for selection this week.
Injury list - as at Tuesday 1 September
Mitchell (illness) available
Puopolo (ankle) available
