FIVE players have been included in Port Adelaide’s 26-man squad to face Essendon at Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Karl Amon, Joe Atley, Jarrod Lienert, Trent McKenzie and Jake Neade all come into the extended squad after strong performances with the Magpies.

Sam Powell-Pepper is the only out from the team that defeated Brisbane by five points at Adelaide Oval in Round 3.

The squad will be trimmed to 22 tomorrow afternoon.

The Magpies will welcome back Jasper Pittard, Jimmy Toumpas and Lindsay Thomas for their clash with Woodville West Torrens on Saturday.

Pittard will make his return from a hamstring injury he suffered in the JLT Community Series, while Toumpas only missed the one week with a shoulder injury.

Lindsay Thomas comes back into the side after being the emergency for the Power against the Lions.
