Sydney coach Paul Roos expects spearhead Barry Hall to return from injury and suspension for the round 12 AFL clash with St Kilda at the SCG on June 14.

Hall, 31, injured his wrist during the round four clash with West Coast in which he was handed a seven-match suspension for punching Eagles defender Brent Staker in the face.

"At this stage we expect him to play against St Kilda," Roos told reporters.

"He needs to get through a fair bit of training, in terms of handling the ball and those sorts of things.

"But the doctor is pretty positive."

Roos said Hall had been training with his cast on and will have a pin removed from his wrist in a minor operation on Monday.
