Star Blues duo Marc Murphy and Bryce Gibbs are expected to be fit to take on the Sydney Swans on Saturday afternoon. 

Following Carlton’s 90-point loss on Friday night, both Murphy (knee) and Gibbs (thumb) had scans on their respective injuries but on Monday were cleared of any serious damage.

Head of Football Andrew McKay said the pair would have to get through training this week.
 

“Marc and Bryce will need to get through training this week, but both players are expected to take to the field on Saturday against Sydney,” McKay said. 

“Scans have cleared Marc of any structural damage to his knee, so he will face testing during the week but we’re quite confident he will be available.

"Bryce experienced some discomfort in his thumb during Friday’s game but pleasingly, it is looking positive that he will be available for this week's match also.”
