The Crows reported no new injuries in either the AFL or SANFL last round.
Rookie-listed ruckman Jack Osborn (back) is a good chance to make his return from a back injury in Adelaide’s State League clash with South Adelaide at Hickinbotham Oval on Saturday.
Midfielder Brad Crouch revisited a specialist last Wednesday regarding his recovery from a fractured leg. The specialist said Crouch’s injury is healing well, albeit a little slower than expected. At this stage, the Club is confident Crouch will return to playing within a few weeks.
Forward Tom Lynch (jaw) was an interested onlooker at Adelaide’s win over Collingwood on Thursday night. The 2013 Crows leading goalkicker is recovering well from surgery, but it still about a month away from playing. Lewis Johnston, who recently had surgery on a tendon in his hand, will be sidelined for another five weeks.
Utility Ricky Henderson (fractured leg/ankle) and captain Nathan van Berlo (Achilles) continue to make good progress and remain on track to return this season.
The Crows will have an open training session on AAMI Stadium from 10:00am on Saturday, May 24. The session will run approximately one hour. Adelaide then fly to Melbourne ahead of the Sunday twilight clash with Carlton at the MCG.

Brad Crouch (leg) – 2-3 weeks
Tom Lynch (jaw) – 4-5 weeks
