Luke McPharlin should be available for selection later this week after overcoming a calf injury that left him sidelined from Sunday’s Carlton Draught Derby.
Fremantle sports science manager Jason Weber said McPharlin was ruled out 24 hours before the round 20 clash, due to a flare up of a cork injury.
“He had a cork coming off the game at Etihad Stadium against St Kilda,” he said.
“That just tightened later in the week and he was left out of selection.
“He has trained strongly as today and see him at the selection table later in the week.”

Weber said Michael Johnson had pulled up well from his first game since round 10, when he tore his hamstring.
“(He is) very happy and looking forward to getting a bit more game time in him,” he said.
