Fremantle's Stephen Hill is battling an issue with his left quad, and the club has placed him on a modified program while they assess the best course of action.

Stephen Hill's quad battles have continued, with the Fremantle midfielder placed on a modified training program while the club assesses its options.

Hill was plagued by quad issues last season, with the injuries restricting him to just 13 games.

Fremantle released a statement on Thursday revealing Hill has now been placed on a modified pre-season training program after experiencing soreness in his left quad.

Football operations manager Peter Bell said the club's medical team were seeking specialist advice to help treat Hill's injury, which was causing discomfort when kicking.

Hill has been flagged to play an important midfield role next season to help fill the void left by Lachie Neale, who has moved to the Brisbane Lions.
