STAR forwards Jake Stringer and Luke Dahlhaus are set to bolster the injury-hit Western Bulldogs for Friday night's massive clash against Geelong.

With the club confirming Mitch Wallis (leg) and Jack Redpath (knee) both suffered season-ending injuries in the upset loss to St Kilda, the duo's return is a huge fillip for Luke Beveridge's seventh-placed side.

Stringer missed one week with a shoulder complaint while Dahlhaus has been sidelined with a knee injury picked up in the round 12 win over Port Adelaide. 

Bulldogs football manager Graham Lowe said Stringer, Dahlhaus and clever forward Toby McLean (ankle) would all join in full training this week.

"Jake has come in to the club really well today and he'll be involved in full training this week with a view to playing this weekend," Lowe told westernbulldogs.com.au.

"It’s really pleasing after such a difficult weekend to have some good news around Luke Dahlhaus and Toby McLean.”

Veteran Dale Morris is also a chance to face the Cats after sitting out the second half of the St Kilda clash.

The versatile stopper will be sorely missed if he doesn't get up, as he's capable of standing with a man mountain like Tom Hawkins or a fleet-footed playmaker like Steven Motlop.

"Dale had some back-related hamstring tightness which came on in the second quarter," Lowe said.

“We made a conservative decision to manage him so he didn’t play out the rest of the game.”

“We’ll give Dale every opportunity to be available for selection this week.”

Meanwhile, midfielder Wallis has successfully undergone surgery to repair his badly broken left leg.

Leading orthopaedic surgeon David Young performed the procedure and he was optimistic the tough midfielder could return to the field in around nine months.

Lowe said the club was banding around Wallis as the 23-year-old comes to grips with his shocking injury.

"Mitch has had successful surgery yesterday, he’s had a plate put on to his tibia," Lowe said.

"That will be removed at some point, and then he’ll progress his rehab from there.

"We’ve got our support around Mitch, and he’s in as good spirit as he can be, and we look forward to welcoming him back in to the club as soon as he can (join us in here).”

The club also confirmed Redpath would have a traditional operation to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
