North Melbourne has named its 26-man squad for Sunday's clash against the GWS Giants.

The Roos could welcome back Kyron Hayden, who has overcome a serious achilles injury suffered midway through last year, while Aiden Bonar and Tristan Xerri are both in the mix for a debut.

After returning to Arden Street this week, following the birth of his third child, Jed Anderson is among an eight-man extended interchange bench.

North's lineup is very similar to its round one winning side, with Nick Larkey (foot) and Paul Ahern (omitted) the only players missing.

The final team will be announced on Friday afternoon.

Check out the full squad below, presented by The Wharf Hotel.
