Essendon defender Matt Guelfi has been cleared of any structural damage after crashing into the boundary fence and will fly back to Melbourne on Friday.
Guelfi was sent to hospital for scans on his ribs and lung on Thursday night after the incident following a shove from Jeremy McGovern in his side's 35-point loss to West Coast.
McGovern copped a one-match ban over the incident.
The Bombers tweeted on Friday that Guelfi had been cleared of structural damage and could fly back home.
In further good news for the Bombers, Tom Bellchambers, Mason Redman, and Dylan Clarke all escaped suspension over incidents from Thursday's game.
But the fitness of Orazio Fantasia is up in the air after the forward tallied just six disposals against the Eagles.
Coach John Worsfold revealed after the match that Fantasia is battling soreness.
"It's soreness he's had for a while," Worsfold said.
"We're trying to get on top of it while he is still holding up, but we'll assess how he has pulled up after this game."
Worsfold said Jake Stringer, who missed Thursday's loss with an ankle injury, is no certainty to return for next week's clash with GWS.
"We're rapt that he's not out for the long term," Worsfold said.
"But when he's able to train flat out - he's a bit of an unknown. It could be this week, but he may not be up for the game."
Worsfold says his side copped a football lesson from West Coast.
The Bombers led by 10 points late in the first quarter, but were blown off the park from that point on in the 14.22 (106) to 11.5 (71) result.
West Coast tallied 20 straight inside 50s either side of quarter time and would have beaten Essendon by more than 70 points if not for some shonky goalkicking.
The final inside 50m count read 64-40 in favour of West Coast with Essendon struggling to even clear the ball from defence for large parts of the match.
Worsfold said he was particularly concerned by the second quarter when West Coast won the inside 50m count 23-4.
The result left Essendon at 6-7 and facing a battle to make the finals.
