THE WESTERN Bulldogs are confident star playmaker Tom Liberatore will be fit for Saturday night's clash with Richmond at Etihad Stadium.

Liberatore was forced out of the Bulldogs' loss to Greater Western Sydney early in the final quarter with a concussion sustained in a heavy tackle from Giant Shane Mumford.

Bulldogs medical services manager Chris Bell told the club's website a decision on whether Liberatore would face the Tigers would be made closer to the game.

"(Tom's) come in really well today and he will be assessed this week, as we usually do clinically, and we'll make a decision on his availability later in the week," Bell said.

Ruckman Tom Campbell is also a chance to play after he was a late withdrawal due to an ankle injury suffered at training in the lead up to the match.

In further good news, veteran Matthew Boyd is expected to also be available after missing round six with a back complaint.

"Boydy developed some general soreness following the Brisbane game and we decided to manage his load over the weekend," Bell said.

"He has come in well today and will be monitored during training this week with the expectation that he will return to availability."

As reported by AFL.com.au, midfielder Mitch Wallis has pulled up well in his VFL return from a badly broken leg, with a best-on-ground performance for Footscray.

Forward Tory Dickson also got a clean bill of health after resuming from an abdominal strain in the same match.

Wallis and Dickson are expected to have another run at state league level before being considered for senior selection.

But luck has deserted promising rookie Brad Lynch, with the dashing defender expected to miss the next 3-4 weeks with a hamstring injury.
