Joe Daniher is again bound for Ireland with the injury-riddled forward set to visit world-leading specialist Dr Andy Franklyn-Miller later this month in a bid to curb the Bomber's groin woes.

After consecutive seasons in which he has played just seven and four games respectively, Daniher is yet to resume full training with Essendon, with the Dons' opening-round clash with Fremantle little over two months away.

Daniher and fellow forward James Stewart visited Franklyn-Miller in Dublin during the off-season, with both having been sidelined with groin issues for much of 2019.

Essendon confirmed to The Age that as Daniher works to progress back to full fitness, he will return to Ireland to meet the doctor in coming weeks as part of the next phase of his rehabilitation program.
