Lions AFLW captain Leah Kaslar is battling to prove her fitness for Saturday’s grand final rematch with the Western Bulldogs at Whitten Oval.

Brisbane are also fearing the worst for forward Sharni Webb, who complained of foot soreness at training last week and was forced out of the side that suffered a heavy defeat by Melbourne on Sunday.

Test have revealed she has a stress fracture and with just four matches in the home and away season remaining, there is a chance she will not play again this season.

Kaslar was unable to take the field in the second half on Sunday because of a calf injury.

However, she has made solid progress since then and is now a chance to play.

Brisbane hope she has improved enough by today to name Kaslar in an extended side, in which case she would fly with the team tomorrow and be given a final fitness test on Saturday morning.

She had to pass a similar test last week.

Ariana Clarke is available for selection after serving a one-match ban while vice-captain Sam Virgo has also been cleared to play after leaving the field late in the loss to the Bulldogs after a heavy collision.
