It’s positive news for two rehabbing Eagles, with Beth Schilling and Aimee Schmidt both returning to main training this week.

Schilling broke a bone in her left-hand during pre-season training but looks set to be available for selection this weekend against Gold Coast.

“Beth Schilling is progressing really well through her rehab,” Salisbury said.

“She will look to main train this week and then be available for selection on the weekend.”

Schmidt was ruled out of the season-opener with lingering quad tightness that she sustained in the lead up to the pre-season practice match against Essendon.

“’Schmitty’ is in the same boat, she’s ticked off a lot of her rehab in the last couple of weeks,” Salisbury said.

“She will look to main train again on Wednesday and be available for the weekend.”
