PORT ADELAIDE will welcome back skipper Travis Boak on Saturday night.

Coach Ken Hinkley confirmed the return of the midfielder on FIVEaa's Sportsday SA program on Tuesday.

"Yeah, he'll play," a to-the-point Hinkley said.

"He had no problems training ... got through training, and was picked in the side at selection.

"There was some thought about whether it was a knock, when you get a scan and there's a tiny, little bit of signalling [of injury concern] if you don't respect that and do a hamstring, you'd be foolish.

"We weren't prepared to take that risk."

Hinkley also spoke about Power's recent win over the Lions and recent form of players like Chad Wingard and Charlie Dixon.
