Daniel Wells could return for Collingwood as soon as this week

Collingwood has finally received some positive news on the injury front.

The club says Daniel Wells is in contention to make a return as soon as this week.

There had been fears he wouldn’t play again this season after he suffered a knee injury in his return in Round 10.

The Pies said Wells would “push his case for a return at our main training session” on Thursday.

Collingwood plays Melbourne on Saturday.
