After playing through some discomfort in 2014, Jack Ziebell and Aaron Black will return to full training after Christmas, with both going undergoing shoulder surgery.
The hip injury which forced Lachlan Hansen to miss six of the last seven games required minor surgery - the defender aiming to return to full training in January.
Only Majak Daw and Ben Brown will have a significantly compromised pre-season. The duo are scheduled to return to full training near the end of January.
Daw is recovering from an injury suffered in the VFL late in 2014, while Brown underwent knee surgery following the season.
