ST KILDA could make as many as four changes to the team that lost to the Western Bulldogs last weekend when it names its final 22 on Friday evening.

Sam Fisher looks set to return from a back injury, while Jack Sinclair has been named after he was elevated from the rookie list today.

Fisher has not played since round 10 due to a hamstring injury, and looked all set to play last Saturday until a back injury forced him out on the morning of the match.

Sinclair collected 20 disposals, booted one goal and registered nine clearances in a solid outing for Sandringham last Sunday.

Tom Curren's broken fibula and subsequent placement on the long-term injury list opened the door for St Kilda to promote a rookie, at which point Sinclair was given the all clear.

The clever ball-winner has played 10 games this season and booted 11 goals.

Meanwhile, Tom Hickey and potential debutant Hugh Goddard are the other two players in the mix, although both will have to wait until Friday afternoon to find out which team they will be playing in this week. 

Luke Delaney has been omitted, while Jack Billings has not been selected and will miss with shin soreness. 

Stay tuned to SAINTS.com.au on Friday afternoon for St Kilda's final team and four-man bench.
