Several GIANTS are closing in on returns after overcoming minor injury setbacks.

Veteran Phil Davis will look to put his hand up to return this weekend, named as a test as he recovers from a groin injury.

Daniel Lloyd (calf) and Lachlan Keeffe (thumb) will also look to return this week from minor injuries with all three set to undergo fitness tests later in the week.

Jason Gillbee (calf) will be unavailable for this week after picking up a minor strain following training last week, but will look to return in round nine.

Meanwhile, young ruck Nick Madden has returned to full training following off-season foot surgery.

Conor Stone has also been added to the injury list after experiencing ongoing back issues.

The GIANTS take on the Bulldogs at Manuka Oval on Saturday night.
