June 4th 2008 03:37
NORTH MELBOURNE forward Nathan Thompson will need to prove his fitness at a training session on Thursday if he is going to play against Geelong at Telstra Dome on Friday night.
Thompson, who has kicked 24 goals in 10 matches since returning from a left-knee injury, had scans on the joint after experiencing pain during the 31-point loss to the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Saturday night.
The scans cleared him of any structural damage, but Thompson is believed to be struggling with the demands of training and playing.
In some good news for the Kangaroos, classy midfielder Daniel Wells is in line for a recall after injuring his knee in the thrilling three-point win over the Western Bulldogs in round nine.
Fellow midfielder Daniel Harris told the Kangaroos' website that Wells "is very important because he gives us that link-up player and he's also been getting in and getting his own footy.
"He can also finish off with his skills, and that's what we lacked on the weekend."
