The Brisbane Lions confirm midfielder Jarrod Berry is available for selection for Friday night’s clash with Melbourne at the MCG after proving his fitness at training on Tuesday.
Berry, who missed last week’s win against West Coast due to hamstring tightness, joins teammates Cal Ah Chee and Tom Fullarton as potential options for coach Chris Fagan.
Ah Chee sat out last weekend under concussion protocols, while Fullarton had been sidelined for the two weeks after injuring his hamstring.
The Lions will however be without midfielder Josh Dunkley who they are expecting to welcome back next week along with Rhys Mathieson (hamstring) and Carter Michael (quad).
The Club is currently consulting with James Madden to decide the best course of action for the Irish-born defender after suffering a shoulder injury in Saturday’s win over the Eagles.
Injury List
Josh Dunkley – calf – 1 week
Rhys Mathieson – hamstring – 1 week
Carter Michael – quad – 1 week
Noah Answerth – facial fracture – 4 weeks
James Madden – shoulder - TBC
