SYDNEY are hopeful that forward Barry Hall will be back to face St Kilda at the SCG in round 12.
Hall suffered a badly broken wrist on the same night he was reported for striking West Coast utility Brent Staker, which subsequently resulted in a seven-match ban.
The badly broken wrist he suffered against the Eagles in round four was initially expected to keep him out of the side until July.
Sydney coach Paul Roos said Hall had been training well, but the club wouldn't get a clearer idea on when Hall will return until next week when the former captain has X-rays to assess the injury.
"He is certainly a chance to play when he is due back from suspension," Roos said.
"We will know a bit more next week. But he is training hard, training really well, and at this stage his wrist appears to be healing really well."
