Following his Easter Thursday roll of his ankle against Collingwood, Neale had scans on Saturday that revealed no serious injuries.
To help with his ankle recovery and swelling, the midfielder worked out at the gym on Monday before joining teammates for a light workout on the track.
Doedee tore a partial tear of his ACL during training last week, and he will have knee surgery on Wednesday.
This week, Darcy Gardiner, a fellow defender who participated in the Lions VFL victory over Collingwood on Good Friday, will also be available for AFL selection.
