Annalyse Lister will miss the remainder of the 2023 NAB AFLW season with a calf injury. 

The experienced campaigner sustained the high-grade calf strain at training last week with scans later confirming the extent of the injury and ruling her out for not only Sunday’s match but up to nine weeks. 

In other updates, Annise Bradfield and Madison Brazendale are progressing well in their respective rehab programs and are aiming to be available for selection in round nine. 

First-year player Teagan Germech is recovering well from her ankle sprain sustained in round four and will return to the field for running this week. 

Meanwhile, no new injuries came out of the GIANTS’ round five clash with Kangaroos last weekend. 

The GIANTS return to Sydney this weekend to take on the West Coast Eagles at Blacktown International Sportspark on Saturday at 1:05pm.
