Fremantle midfielder Stephen Hill has been ruled out for a further two AFL matches due to a lingering quad injury.
Hill was named to return in last week’s win over Collingwood, but withdrew after failing a late fitness test.
The 23-year-old was then expected to be available for Saturday night’s clash with Sydney at the SCG, but the Dockers released a statement on Tuesday confirming Hill would need a further two weeks to recover.
Fremantle will also be without ruckman Jon Griffin, who suffered a season-ending knee injury against the Magpies.
But star on-baller Nat Fyfe will bolster the side after serving his two-match suspension.
Fremantle boast a 5-2 record despite battling a host of injuries to key players.
