\n Essendon\u2019s injury list ahead of round 20.\n <\/p>\n

Essendon could regain\u00a0Nate Caddy\u00a0for their Friday night clash with the Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The forward was managed due to soreness last week after featuring in all 16\u00a0games in the buildup to the GWS fixture, but he will train fully this week and be available for selection.<\/p>\n

Ben Hobbs will also be pushing to be available after missing last week\u2019s game with a groin complaint.<\/p>\n

Scans confirmed a hamstring strain for\u00a0Elijah Tsatas\u00a0after experiencing some soreness out of his return game against Richmond a fortnight ago \u2013 he\u2019ll miss the next four weeks.<\/p>\n

Ben McKay is progressing slowly as he manages a niggling foot injury, and while hopeful of getting back this year, it now appears unlikely he will return to play this season.<\/p>\n

Darcy Parish and Harrison Jones won\u2019t be seen again this season, as both players continue to recover from their respective calf and ankle injuries.<\/p>\n
