HERE'S where things stand from a Carlton injury perspective leading into Round 6.

Matthew Kennedy (soreness)
Kennedy had soreness following Sunday’s game against Port Adelaide. With the six-day break, he will miss this week and is expected to be available for Round 7.

Mitch McGovern (hamstring)
McGovern increased his running capacity over the last week, with the next fortnight to be spent integrating him progressively back into the skills program. This approach will not only allow him to full recover before he returns to play, but ensure he is given a strong foundation to build from when he returns to the side in the short term.

Oscar McDonald (back)
McDonald has been able to train the last few weeks, but has not been able to reach 100 per cent capacity. The Club is working on strategies to build up his training load, with a return-to-play date to be confirmed.

Josh Honey (knee)
Honey has been training well and, at this stage, is a test to play VFL next weekend.

Caleb Marchbank (knee)
Marchbank has progressed into the full skills program and is building up a strong fitness base. He will continue to do so over this next period before he eventually returns to play through the VFL.

David Cuningham (knee)
Cuningham is being integrated back into the skills program. He will now build up his fitness from here as he progresses towards a return to play in the middle of the season.
