Port Adelaide vice-captain Zak Butters has returned to running as he recovers from a knee injury.

Butters underwent an arthroscopy almost three weeks ago, and is expected to be eligible for selection by Gather Round.

Brandon Zerk-Thatcher and Todd Marshall are both progressing well through their rehabilitation, while Tom Anastasopoulos is out of a moonboot following syndesmosis surgery last Tuesday.

Port Adelaide will name its side for Saturday’s Round 2 game this Thursday at 5:50pm.

Injury list

Zak Butters (knee) – 3-5 weeks
