BRISBANE Lions prime movers Tom Rockliff and Dayne Beams will learn more about the extent of their injuries after undergoing tests on Monday afternoon.
Rockliff is consulting a hamstring specialist with Lions head physio Shane Lemcke to determine the route of his recurring problems.
The captain is expected to miss Sunday's match against Melbourne at the MCG, but the club is hopeful of formulating a rehab program to limit his time on the sidelines.
Rockliff has suffered hamstring and calf injuries related to a neural problem in his back, and then suffered a fresh tear against Port Adelaide in round seven.
Meanwhile, Beams is having an MRI in Brisbane to determine the extent of the knee injury that flared up in Saturday night's loss against Collingwood.
The reigning joint best-and-fairest winner missed the first six matches with knee tendinitis and, in just his second match back, copped a knock on the tendon that caused him enough pain to be taken off with one quarter remaining.
Surgery is a potential option for the 26-year-old, but the club expects to know more in the next 24 hours.
