Injury Update: Wingard, Schulz, Trengove clear to play
There's a big dent in the injury list with key names set to face the Cats.
The trio suffered knocks in Port Adelaide's 14-point win over West Coast on Saturday night, with Wingard cleared after having precautionary chest scans after a collision with Darren Glass.
Port Adelaide's high performance manager Darren Burgess confirmed the three would be available for selection on Thursday.
"These guys came up fine from Saturday," Burgess told portadelaidefc.com.au.
"Chad was cleared by scans we had done as a precaution, he felt fine after the game.
"Schulzy had stitches for a cut lip, it looks bad, but he'll be ready to go for Geelong."
Exciting mid-forward Angus Monfries will be assessed for Sunday's game after enjoying a swift recovery from the hamstring injury sustained against North Melbourne in Round 3.
"Gussy's come up well, it wasn't as bad a hamstring as we thought at first so he could play this week," Burgess said.
"If not he'll definitely be in the picture for GWS the week after."
Long-term injured Jarrad Redden, Mason Shaw, Lewis Stevenson and Sam Russell have all inched at least a week closer to their returns.

Louis Sharrad will be forced to undergo surgery to repair a torn ligament in his ankle.
The Magpies senior-lister sustained the injury during the club's 152-point win over Glenelg two weekends ago.
Magpies head of fitness Greg King told portadelaidefc.com.au Sharrad could miss up to three months in rehab.
"It's really unfortunate for Louis, we don't know quite how long he'll be out for but it could be between 10-12 weeks," King said.
"We determined surgery would be the best option for him, and we'll have a clearer picture on his recovery after that."
Brendon Ah Chee will also be assessed before Saturday's ANZAC Round match against the Bloods after suffering a minor ankle sprain in the Magpies' 58-point win over the Eagles on Easter Monday.
He returned to the game after quarter time and played the rest of it out.
