GOLD Coast superstar Gary Ablett has been cleared to play in Saturday's clash against fellow battlers Collingwood.

The veteran midfielder missed last weekend's heavy loss to Sydney due to a hamstring issue but passed a fitness test on Friday morning.

Ablett is one of four key inclusions for the Suns, along with Pearce Hanley, Aaron Hall and Michael Rischitelli, who is returning after 12 months on the sidelines with an ACL injury.
