MITCH ROBINSON will return from injury for the Lions when they clash with Melbourne on Sunday at the MCG.
Robinson spent several days in a moon boot and missed last week’s loss to Sydney after an MRI showed damage to the syndesmosis of his ankle.
The 26-year old got through main training yesterday and will return to face the Dees.
Brisbane will also regain ruckman Stefan Martin and defender Ryan Harwood.
Martin received a two match suspension for striking Adelaide’s Luke Brown in Round 13.
The ruckman will line-up against the side he played 57 games for – Martin was traded to Brisbane at the end of 2012.
Harwood played in the Reserves last weekend at Coorparoo and will provide experience and drive off half back in the absence of defender Darcy Gardiner. Gardiner will next week undergo shoulder and ankle reconstruction surgery ending his season.
Rohan Bewick and Jordon Bourke have been omitted.
