Essendon has made four inclusions to their squad for Sunday’s match against the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium.

Veteran Nathan Lovett-Murray’s road to recovery could be complete this weekend after being named in the 25-man squad.

Lovett-Murray, who was hospitalised after a domestic altercation earlier this year, has played just one game this season (Round 7 against Geelong) and is one of four inclusions to Sunday’s team.

The hard bodied on baller gather 26 disposals in last weekend’s VFL win over the Northern Blues in his most promising game since recovering from the incident.

Leroy Jetta, Kyle Hardingham and Nick O’Brien have all been added to the team that defeated Port Adelaide last weekend with the final 22 to be named on Friday afternoon.

O’Brien who played the final two games of last season is yet to play a match at AFL level this season despite consistent performances at VFL level as a defensive midfielder/half forward.

Jobe Watson is the only player out of the side after having surgery earlier in the week on a broken collarbone.

Forward Stewart Crameri will miss another week with an ankle complaint after being left out of the squad to face the Bulldogs.

Midfielder Brent Stanton has been named however and is expected to take his place after scans cleared him of serious damage to his ankle earlier this week.
