His return will undoubtedly bolster the Blues’ chances as they enter the finals with a renewed sense of hope.

Additionally, key defenders Jacob Weitering and Nic Newman, both of whom have been recovering from various injuries, are also expected to be back in action. Their return will provide much-needed stability to Carlton’s defensive setup, which has been under pressure in recent weeks.

The timing of these returns couldn’t be better. With the finals series set to commence soon, having these players back in the lineup will give Carlton a significant boost both in terms of morale and on-field performance. The team has shown resilience and adaptability throughout the season, and the reinforcements will only enhance their chances of making a deep run in the finals.

Carlton’s coaching staff and medical team have worked diligently to ensure that the returning players are fit and ready to contribute immediately. The players have undergone rigorous rehabilitation programs and have been given the green light to resume full training and match play.

As the finals series draws near, Carlton fans can look forward to seeing their team at full strength, ready to challenge for the premiership. The return of these key players is a testament to the club’s dedication to ensuring that they put their best foot forward in the most critical part of the season.
