TRENT MCKENZIE could return from an ankle injury for Saturday night’s meeting with the Swans in Sydney.
McKenzie has missed the last two games after spraining his right ankle in the Round 1 win over Brisbane.
The experienced defender resumed running last week and will need to prove his fitness during training over coming days to be considered for selection.
Lachie Jones will remain under observation after finishing the weekend’s Showdown with right hamstring tightness.
The 20 year-old has pulled up well but will continue to be assessed in the lead up to Saturday’s game at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Port Adelaide will name its side for the trip to the harbour city on Thursday evening.
