SYDNEY coach Paul Roos expects key forward Barry Hall to return from injury and suspension for the round 12 clash against St Kilda at the SCG.
The 31-year-old injured his wrist during the round four match against West Coast in which he was handed a seven-match suspension for punching Eagles utility Brent Staker in the face.
Roos said Hall needed to get through plenty of training before being considered for a recall, but at this stage he is progressing well.
"At this stage we expect him to play against St Kilda," Roos said.
"He needs to get through a fair bit of training, in terms of handling the ball and those sorts of things.
"But the doctor is pretty positive."
Roos said Hall had been training with his cast on and will have a pin removed from his wrist in a minor operation on Monday.
