Melbourne trio Suliasi Vunivalu, Curtis Scott and Dale Finucane have been named to return from injury in time for Sunday's NRL blockbuster against competition leaders St George Illawarra.
Vunivalu (hamstring) and Finucane (thumb) missed last week's win over the Warriors, while Scott (ankle) was expected to miss up to a month, however all three were included on Tuesday.
Scott is considered an outside chance to recover, and is likely to be replaced by Young Tonumaipea.
"It is an unusual one, it is not as bad as first anticipated. He probably will not play this weekend, more than likely he won't play against St George," Storm football director Frank Ponissi told the club website.
"If it settles down okay (on Tuesday) he may be named for the weekend and be given every opportunity to play but more than likely we are trying to get him up for the Titans game on Sunday week."
