North Melbourne captain Jack Ziebell couldn’t be more excited to see Majak Daw back out on the field.

Daw is set to make his return via the VFL on Sunday, assuming he gets through training during the week.

"He's good and full of energy, he has to get through training on Thursday and if he does that he'll play a small piece of the game on Sunday,” Ziebell said.

"It's awesome for Maj, he's obviously been through a fair bit over the last six to 12 months.

"It's been incredible to watch Maj go through all his rehab and to see how determined he is and how much hard work he has put in.”

The North Melbourne captain said Daw’s comeback was simply inspiring.

“For him to be able to get out and back on the green stuff playing the game he loves, it brings a smile to everyone’s faces, in our footy club and I’m sure to the footy community as well."

Ziebell has full confidence his teammate will soon be back at AFL level.

"You'd be a brave man to tell him he won't, and that's been his goal from the start.”
