Port Adelaide forward Gemma Houghton will return to modified training on Tuesday, with the aim to complete a full training session this Thursday.

The 28-year-old will test out her ankle in the hope she may be eligible for selection for this week's home game against North Melbourne.

Winger Yasmin Duursma will spend some time on the injury list, after straining her glute muscle during training.

Duursma is expected to spend approximately two weeks on the sidelines.

Injury list
Gemma Houghton (approx. 1 week)
Yasmin Duursma, glute (approx. 2 weeks)
Liz McGrath, ankle (3-4 weeks)
Maggie MacLachlan, shoulder (season)
