SKIPZ AFL Injury Update: Two additions to the list

Two players have been added to Hawthorn's AFL injury list ahead of its clash with the Western Bulldogs on Thursday night at Marvel Stadium.

As confirmed on Tuesday afternoon, Hawks Captain James Sicily will miss at least the next two games as he deals with a hip/ abdominal injury.

High Performance Manager Peter Burge also confirmed that defender Bodie Ryan would be sidelined for four to six weeks after fracturing his clavicle in Box Hill's 17-point loss to Collingwood.

Read Burge's updates on Sicily and Ryan below, as well as Luke Breust, Matt Hill, Mitch Lewis and Will Day.

Luke Breust (back) - test

"He's improved significantly. Last week, it was a line-ball decision and we decided not to play him, albeit that he did some training today and will be available for selection this week."

Matt Hill (ankle) - test

"He's significantly improved over the weekend and punched some good training out two days ago and then today, he's improved again and done some training today. We'll put him through a full training session with Box Hill on Thursday night with the view for playing for Box Hill on the weekend."

James Sicily (hip/ abdominal) - TBC

"James is managing a hip/ abdominal issue. From the weekend, he hasn't pulled up well from the game and is quite sore. We've been managing this for a little while but it certainly hasn't affected his availability or training recently. But just in the last fortnight, we've just noticed that his strength numbers have come down a little bit and we need them to come back up so we were going to take the opportunity into the bye to take next week off the table and have that fortnight to prepare him for post-bye, but we're now going to take this week as well. That'll take him out of the next two games and we'll have the bye as well to get some rehabilitation and get his strength numbers back up and get on top of this issue so we can get him back to full training and back to playing football."

Mitch Lewis (knee) - 3 weeks

"He had his first full session today. He did every drill and trained with some real intensity so just after that calf niggle recently, we've been able to progress back to full training and now we'll have a number of weeks of full training into the bye and then we'll look to get some game time into him to return after the bye."

Bodie Ryan (clavicle) - 4-6 weeks

"He copped a really nasty knock in the VFL and got a fractured clavicle which has needed surgery which has been done yesterday. He's now recovering and at home and will start a rehab phase very soon. He'll be able to actually start conditioning and running very quickly next week. But then it's just that next phase of contact and resuming match play. So we've listed him as four to six weeks and we'll just keep updating as that rehab progresses."

Will Day (foot) - 2-3 months

"He's fantastic. He ran outside on the grass in straight lines and he's progressing really well. We've had a scan last week as well which has given us some great news that all is on track and progressing really well. We'll update his timeline more specifically next week after some more sessions and progressions, but it'll be more targeted specific as to his return game next week."
