WESTERN Bulldogs captain Easton Wood has declared there are "no concerns at all" over his ankle and he'll be leading out his side in Friday night's semi-final against Hawthorn.

Wood missed the final round of the home and away season with the injury and appeared to be in discomfort at times during the elimination final win over West Coast. 

The 27-year-old said he'd trained well this week, but conceded he was playing with some pain. 

"I've got a little amount of discomfort, but it's nothing I haven't played with before," Wood said.

"It's been nice to get out there (on the training track), give it a test and I think playing on the Thursday night (after) having an eight-day break has probably helped as well.

"(There's) no concerns at all."

Fellow stars Tom Liberatore (ankle) and Jack Macrae (hamstring) were also racing the clock to be fit to face the Eagles, but Wood played down worries the second game back from serious injury could be a tougher assignment for the trio.

"I would have thought any concerns would have been about getting through (the West Coast final), because there's been another week to recover, get right and go again," Wood said. 

"All the boys that came back in did a great job and got through the game more than OK." 

Wood has only faced the Hawks twice in his 104-game career, with last meeting coming back in round 10, 2011.

Hamstring injuries have been particularly frustrating for the 2015 All Australian since his debut back in 2009.

And he's yet to play in a win against the reigning premiers, with Dogs on the wrong end of an eight-game losing streak that stretches back to 2010. 

"I haven't played (against) them in a while (because) the last couple of years I've picked up little niggles unfortunately, but I'm wrapped to get out there and take them on," Wood said. 

"I'm just one of those unfortunate ones who have missed a few games over my career, it's just one of those things."
