EXILED star Harley Bennell will return to Fremantle headquarters when his club-imposed suspension ends on Tuesday. 

It will mark eight weeks to the day since Bennell was banished for being involved in a nightclub scuffle and drinking an excessive amount of alcohol the night before a training session.  

The Dockers sent Bennell away to train at WAFL-alignment club Peel with clear key performance indicators he needed to hit, including skinfold requirements, to be allowed back after eight weeks.

Bennell suffered a minor calf tear while training with the Thunder last month but is nearing the end of his 21-day rehabilitation program.

Coach Ross Lyon expected the 25-year-old would be physically ready to return to Fremantle training after a meeting with club hierarchy on Tuesday.

"I think he's hit all indicators," Lyon told Channel Nine.  

"I think he had a slight hiccup with his calf.

"With (football manager) Chris Bond and the leaders, he'll come in tomorrow and we'll have the discussion." 

It is doubtful Bennell will be considered for Sunday's final JLT Community Series clash against West Coast at Joondalup, with the Dockers expected to use the clash as a round one audition of their best 22. 

Bennell's path back to the Dockers may be via Peel in a practice match against Claremont this Saturday or against Subiaco on March 17.
