Tom Liberatore will return to the Bulldogs’ line-up for Saturday night’s clash against Fremantle at Optus Stadium.

Liberatore missed last week’s win after being placed in concussion protocols following the Essendon game.

He has been named to start in the middle, at the expense of Ryley Sanders.

James O’Donnell, Jack Macrae, Lachie Bramble, Harvey Gallagher and Riley Garcia will start on the interchange bench.

One of those five will be named the sub an hour before the first bounce on Saturday.
