Hawks star on verge of return

Hawthorn captain James Sicily is on the verge of returning to the AFL after needing a 鈥渕inor procedure鈥 on his hip injury.
Midfielder James Worpel also looks ready to return for Saturday鈥檚 danger game against North Melbourne in Launceston.
Sicily has not played since round 13 and coach Sam Mitchell revealed before Thursday鈥檚 training the star鈥檚 time out had involved more than just rest and rehabilitation.
鈥淗e鈥檚 obviously been dealing with a 鈥榥ervy鈥 hip thing, which we鈥檝e sort-of got a bit more of (our heads) around,鈥 Mitchell said.

鈥淗e had a minor procedure, which sorted out a big portion of it. Will he get up for this week? Training will tell us a bit more about that.
鈥淏ut it鈥檚 definitely been beneficial for him.鈥
Sicily and Worpel (quad) are listed as tests and Mitchell was giving nothing away about potential changes for the North Melbourne game.
Mitchell bristled late last month when quizzed about Sicily鈥檚 form and fitness at a media conference, calling the speculation 鈥渁 storm in a teacup鈥.
Within days, the Hawks announced Sicily would need a couple of weeks off because of the hip problem.

Good evening and welcome

What a Thursday night of footy shapes up for under-siege Carlton, who travel to Adelaide for a tough clash against Port Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval. Both teams have 6-8 records so, to be brutal, it鈥檚 really season over for the loser tonight.
