NO new players have been added to Port Adelaide’s injury list following Sunday’s win over Fremantle.
Defender Trent McKenzie has been making strides in his recovery from a partially torn PCL, with the 31-year-old hoping to return in the first week of finals.
Dante Visentini will be assessed throughout the week after missing the last two weeks of football with a minor quad strain.
The 20-year-old ruck is expected to be available for selection for Sunday’s Richmond clash, pending a successful fitness test.
This Friday marks three weeks since Scott Lycett underwent a cleanout of his meniscus, with the ruckman likely to integrate back into training later this week, while key forward Charlie Dixon (foot) and midfielder Josh Sinn (hamstring) are both making progress in their recovery.
Defender Ryan Burton suffered a knee contusion in the third quarter on Sunday and was subsequently subbed out of the game, but the defender has pulled up well and is expected to be available this weekend.
Port Adelaide will name its extended side for Sunday’s match against Richmond on Thursday evening at 5:50pm ACST and the final team at 4:30pm ACST on Friday.
