Western Bulldogs star Liam Picken is no certainty to line up for the Good Friday AFL clash against North Melbourne as he recovers from a head knock.

Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge says Picken appears to be fine but must pass a concussion test before he can be named.

"As long as he gets the clearance from our doctors he'll definitely play. We'll train this morning and then we'll work out whether he's cleared or not," Beveridge said.
