GIANTS midfielder Lachie Whitfield is a chance to return to the GIANTS side for Saturday’s match against the Western Bulldogs at StarTrack Oval, Canberra.

Whitfield missed the 32-point victory over Melbourne with a foot injury and will undergo a fitness test later this week.

Fellow midfielders Dylan Shiel (quad) and Rhys Palmer (hamstring) continue to recover from their leg injuries and should be available in the coming weeks. 

Rookie listed midfielder Sam Schulz is a month away from returning following shoulder surgery while Tim Mohr remains sidelined following minor knee surgery.

Co-captain Phil Davis continues to recover following 13 days in hospital with a kidney injury, and a time-frame on his return to football is yet to be determined.
