Alex Witherden will return to the Brisbane Lions team for Sunday's match against the Melbourne Demons at the MCG.
Witherden missed one game after picking up a minor hamstring injury against the Western Bulldogs in Round 20.
Senior Coach Chris Fagan confirmed Witherden's selection this morning.
"We took a cautionary approach with Witherden last week," Fagan said in his weekly press conference.
"He's trained strongly and has been able to force his way back into the team."
