Greater Western Sydney stars Steve Johnson and Toby Greene will likely miss Saturday’s AFL clash with Hawthorn, while Zac Williams is also in doubt as the Giants’ injury merry-go-round drags on.

Johnson is struggling with an ongoing knee issue inflamed in the weekend’s tough draw with Geelong, from which Greene was a last-minute scratching due to an ankle injury.

Neither trained at Spotless Stadium on Wednesday, prompting coach Leon Cameron to concede the pair are up against it for the Hawks match in Launceston.

“(Toby’s) ankle is taking a bit longer than what we thought it would, which is disappointing,” Cameron said.

“He’s a slight chance, to be totally honest … it can turn around pretty quickly, and if he trains on Friday we’ll play him on Saturday.

“But you’d have to say he’s probably a lesser chance to play this week.”

Cameron said Johnson was “really sore”, in a sign the veteran forward could miss more game time with the knee problem that’s forced him to be managed this season.

“Steve is really sore, he’s a big chance to miss as well, with his knee and just general soreness,” he said.

“The game on the weekend took a fair bit out of him. In saying that, he did present a bit better today.

“But we’re also mindful of how many games he can play in a row and the game was really brutal on the weekend – a contested, high-pressure game.”

Williams was also a late withdrawal against the Cats with a minor hamstring complaint, and completed his own rehab session separate from the main group.

“Zac’s probably in a bit better position than the other two – he was out here running today,” Cameron said.

“When you’re dealing with a really minor hamstring you could say he could get back in nine or 10 days, but if he’s not right he won’t play either.

“It will be disappointing if all three can’t get up but that’s the way it is.”
