North Melbourne duo Jarrad Waite and Daniel Wells will face tests this week to determine their fitness for the Roos' clash against West Coast.

North Director of Football Geoff Walsh said the injured stars would be put through their paces to determine their availability.

“We’re hopeful that those tests later this week prove they’ll both be able to play on Sunday in Perth,” Walsh told NMFC.com.au.

“We’ll have our main training session on Thursday, and depending on how they get through that session and recover, we are hopeful they will be named in our final 22 on Friday afternoon.”

Meanwhile, Luke McDonald is recovering well after his hamstring surgery and North expected the defender to be available towards the end of the home and away season.

“Luke is now two weeks post-surgery and feeling good,” Walsh added.

“We expect it will be about six weeks before he’s ready for selection again, so barring any major setbacks we certainly expect him be able to make impact late in our season and we know he’s focused on making a quick return.”
