BANNED Essendon players will be able to resume their careers at the club on Wednesday, but the Bombers aren't yet planning any training sessions for the returning group.

The majority of the 34 past and present Essendon players hit with 12-month bans for doping are able to return to training from midnight on Tuesday, September 13.

However, no organised sessions have been put together by the club for this week for the nine players who have committed to returning to the Bombers.

Michael Hurley, Cale Hooker, Dyson Heppell, Brent Stanton, Travis Colyer, Heath Hocking, David Myers, Ben Howlett and Tom Bellchambers have signed new deals with the Dons.

The Bombers will leave it in the hands of the players as to when they wish to trickle back into the club to use its facilities and for medical checks.

The club will not have a formalised training program for the players, and AFL.com.au understands they are likely to continue to train under former Collingwood fitness boss David Buttifant for the next few weeks.

Buttifant has been steering the group's training throughout the season alongside 2000 Essendon premiership player and former Bombers assistant coach, Sean Wellman.

The group has been based at St Bernard's College in Essendon for most of the sessions.

The majority of players' suspensions end officially on November 7, when the club will be permitted to facilitate media appearances with those banned.

The rest of the Essendon players are likely to return from their off-season break around that time to start pre-season.

Jobe Watson is the final member of Essendon's banned dozen left to confirm his intentions for 2017 after defender Tayte Pears announced his retirement last week.

Pears and defender Michael Hibberd are the only remaining Bombers who have announced they won't be returning to the club, with Hibberd seeking a trade, with Melbourne.

Watson arrived back in Australia last week after a lengthy stay in the US during his ban with a decision on his future imminent.

A call on whether Watson will keep the Brownlow Medal he won in the year of Essendon's supplements program will not be made until after a verdict is announced in the players' appeal to a Swiss court of their 12-month bans.
