Vice-Captain Liam Shiels is a test to return for Hawthorn’s final home and away game of the season.

Shiels received a ‘corkie’ to his hip during Hawthorn’s Round 21 win over North Melbourne and did not recover in time for Sunday’s clash with Carlton.

“Liam's still a little bit sore," said Elite Performance Manager Andrew Russell.

"He'll be a test to play, and it could go either way this week."
