Star Hawthorn forward Greta Bodey has been cleared of a toe injury, while Melbourne skipper Kate Hore will need to prove her fitness before returning.
Elsewhere, two-time All-Australian defender Bianca Jakobsson has been ruled out of St Kilda's match against Brisbane and will be sidelined for five months.
The Hawks confirmed on Tuesday star forward Bodey will be available for selection as they look to secure a maiden top-two finish when they meet Collingwood in the final round of the AFLW regular season.
The former Lions premiership player had missed out on the previous two rounds with a toe complaint.
"Greta’s recovered well from the intervention we put in place for her toe," Hawks high-performance boss Aaron Kellett said.
"She’s gone through a bit of a reloading plan, this week’s a big part of that, but at this stage she’ll be available for selection this week."
Defender Emily Everist (illness) and forward Kristy Stratton (ankle) face fitness tests for Hawthorn.
Melbourne's Hore was a last-minute exclusion before their loss to the Hawks after picking up a low-grade quad strain.
Arguably one of the best goalkickers in the competition, the ninth-placed Demons will need Hore's talent against Collingwood - and need Essendon to lose - to avoid missing out on finals for the first time since 2019.
Defender Gab Colvin (concussion) will not be available for selection after suffering another head knock at training. Sinead Goldrick (concussion) will also miss.
Veteran Demon Paxy Paxman remains on the sidelines indefinitely with a foot injury, while St Kilda vice-captain Jakobsson will have a long stint out of the game after sustaining a major hyper-extension to her left knee in their one-point loss to the Western Bulldogs.
Meanwhile, North Melbourne captain Emma Kearney is set to return in two weeks after suffering a high-grade hamstring strain in her right leg in late September.
Except for draftee Georgia Stubs, defender Kearney is the only injured player on the Kangaroos list as they look to clinch their first AFLW minor premiership and flag.
Stubs has not played a game this year after dislocating her ankle in a pre-season match simulation.
Port Adelaide, on the verge of their first finals series in seventh spot, have not reported any new injuries.
Sydney are waiting on scans to discover the extent of Giselle Davies' ankle injury.
Swans ruck Davies was taken out of their Brisbane match after injuring her ankle in the second quarter. No.1 ruck Ally Morphett (foot) has already been ruled out for the rest of the season.
Geelong are counting their losses, with Julia Crockett-Grills out with an ankle syndesmosis injury, and Gabbi Featherston with hamstring tightness.
But Essendon have avoided more injury woes following ruck Steph Wales' anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Georgia Clarke has been cleared for the Bombers' must-win clash against Carlton after the key defender was limited to the bench because of cramps in their round-nine draw with Richmond.
Adelaide's Najwa Allen (hamstring), Brisbane star Dakota Davison (concussion) and Collingwood duo Eliza James (concussion) and Mikayla Hyde (foot) are also among players available for selection this week.
