Fremantle skipper Nat Fyfe is likely to return from a hamstring strain this weekend, according to coach Justin Longmuir.

The two-time Brownlow medallist suffered the injury during his side's Round 4 clash with Gold Coast and has been sidelined for one game.

However, Longmuir is confident that the star midfielder will make a remarkable 14-day recovery for this Saturday's clash with St Kilda.

โ€œHeโ€™s a good chance to play. Heโ€™s come along really well and I think that hamstring injury wasnโ€™t as bad as some hamstring injuries can be," Longmuir toldย SEN's Whateley.

โ€œHeโ€™s progressing really well and is keen to put his hand up this week.

โ€œClearly heโ€™ll have to get through our training sessions, but we expect him to play at this stage.โ€

The Dockers face the Saints at Metricon Stadium on Saturday at 12.35pm (AEST).
