Former Fremantle Docker Matt de Boer looks set to line up against his old side on Saturday at Optus Stadium after missing three weeks with a hamstring injury.

“He’s done really well and is on track to play this next match,” said GWS head of medical, Cullan Ball.

“He’s just got to get through a fitness later in the week and we expect him to be available.”

Meanwhile, defenders Sam Reid (calf) and Isaac Cumming (hamstring) have come off the injury list and will be available for selection after long-term injuries.

“They’ve both worked really hard over the last couple of months with their rehab and they’ve both done really well,” Ball said.

“A great, professional effort from those two guys and they’re both expected to play the next game coming up.”

Former skipper Callan Ward will miss about a month of football after a gruesome finger dislocation during Sunday’s match against West Coast.

Despite the horrific look of the injury, surgery on Monday evening showed no tendon damage and no fracture, with just some minor ligament damage that has now been repaired.

“Wardy had a compound dislocation of his finger,” Ball said.

“There’s no other structural damage in there, so no tendon damage and no fracture so that’s the best possible outcome for Cal.

“We think he’ll probably miss around a month.”
