West Coast should receive a much-needed speed injection for Sunday's historic Western Derby with coach Adam Simpson expecting line-breaker Lewis Jetta to overcome general soreness.  

Jetta missed the trip to face Carlton at the MCG, leaving the Eagles light on for leg speed after ankle injuries suffered by youngsters Liam Ryan and Daniel Venables.

But the former Swan is tipped to be right for the much-anticipated clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium.

"(Jetta) should be pretty good to go. He was just pretty sore from the first four or five rounds," Simpson told Channel Seven. 

"We looked after him a little bit, he might have been able to get up late but we didn't take the risk with the travel. 

"We think he'll be available." 

Star midfielder Luke Shuey was pivotal in the 10-point win over the Blues with 24 touches and a goal, despite carrying a toe injury, and there were concerns after he was spotted in a moon boot post-game.

"I think he'll be OK. It's the same as the week before. He's just carried a bit of a toe injury, so that's pulled up the same this week, " Simpson said.

"He should be fine to train on Thursday. 

"Anyone with a lower-leg injury – short-term or long-term – you've got to look after them straight away.

"With travel and the flights we put them in a boot just as a precaution."
