Matt Buntine and Andrew Phillips will face tests ahead of this Saturday’s NAB Challenge match against St Kilda in Wagga Wagga.

Defender Matt Buntine, who started as the sub on Thursday night, is in doubt after receiving a knock in the NAB Challenge against the Swans and will be assessed later in the week.

Ruckman Phillips injured his hamstring during training and will also be tested to see if he can take the field this weekend.

Tim Mohr and Sam Schulz continue to recover from surgery before Christmas with Mohr expected to be available for Round 3 and Schulz a month after that.

All other players will be available for either the NAB Challenge against the Saints or the UWS GIANTS practice game against the ACT Under-23 side at Ainslie Oval in Canberra on Saturday.
