Fremantle captain Nat Fyfe will return to play his first game in seven weeks when Freo take on Geelong on Saturday at GMHBA Stadium.

The star midfielder is one of two Fremantle inclusions for the clash with 20-year-old Bailey Banfield also returning.

The pair replace injured duo Luke Ryan and Sam Switkowski.

Fyfe has averaged 28.8 disposals and seven clearances from 13 games this year, while kicking 10 goals. 

Banfield comes back into Fremantle’s starting 22 after being omitted for the clash with Carlton for team balance reasons.

The midfielder has played all but one game in his debut season and this week signed a two-year contract extension until 2020 with Fremantle.

Brandon Matera, Scott Jones, Danyle Pearce and Ethan Hughes have been named as Fremantle’s emergencies. 

Bouncedown for the clash is at 2.10pm EST (12.10pm WST).
