Thomas ready for VFL comeback as Jolly eyes return
Dale Thomas likely to play in the VFL as his comeback gathers pace
DALE Thomas is set to play his first game since early May, with coach Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley confirming the star wingman is likely to return through the VFL on Saturday.
After finally overcoming an ankle injury, Thomas is primed for a run with Collingwood's VFL team against Sandringham.
Buckley said Thomas was "excellent" during the team's main training session on Tuesday and he had maintained his fitness during the long layoff.
"The likelihood is that he'll play VFL this week," Buckley told the Collingwood website.
