RUCKMAN Jonathon Ceglar and utility Will Langford are expected to be right for the Hawks’ third NAB Challenge match, according to assistant coach Brett Ratten.

Ceglar will miss tomorrow’s match against Richmond with a minor finger injury sustained at training during the week, while Ratten said Langford was not far away from playing.

Both players trained this week.

“(Jonathon) had a little setback, he just his finger, so we’ll just give him a rest and he’ll be right for next week,” Ratten told media at the Ricoh Centre today. 

“(Will’s) fine – he’ll probably play NAB Three. He’ll be very close, he’s just one week away and he’s progressed really well.”

Ceglar played 14 games in 2015, while Langford played 13 – with injury limiting their appearances at senior level in the second half of the home-and-away season. 

With a number of senior berths up for grabs this pre-season, both will have their eyes set on featuring regularly in 2016.
