Hawthorn forward Chad Wingard will be looking to prove his fitness ahead of this week’s clash with Fremantle.

Having been restricted to the sidelines since the Round 11 loss to Brisbane, Wingard has been listed as a ‘test’ ahead of Round 17.

The two-time All Australian forward said he has focussed on resetting his body across the past month.

"It's going very well," Wingard said on Tuesday.

"I've obviously had four or five weeks worth of a training block with weights and running, so I'm feeling pretty comfortable and confident with how it's going."

Jack Scrimshaw could also make a return to the field, with the youngster set to prove his fitness following a knee injury.
