Adelaide Crows forward Jared Petrenko has been ruled out for six weeks with a stress fracture in his leg, while the Crows received better news for Sam Jacobs and Taylor Walker.
CROWS coach Brenton Sanderson says lead ruckman Sam Jacobs will play against Fremantle in Perth on Sunday.
Sanderson said Jacobs — nursing a bruised hip — breezed through a 40-minute closed training session this morning and should be on the plane to WA tomorrow.
The only concern is if Jacobs pulls up sore tomorrow morning. But that is unlikely, Sanderson said.
Jacobs' availability is crucial for Adelaide, which comes up against the AFL's tallest and most in-form ruckman — 211cm giant Aaron Sandilands.
"He looks good," Sanderson said of Jacobs, who is enjoying a strong year.
"He got through the full session today, so I can't see any reason why he won't play.
"We'll probably see how he pulls up tomorrow before we set off but he looks fine."
CROWS' ROLLER-COASTER SEASON
Sanderson said Jacobs "did everything" at training today and "didn't look restricted".
"He looks like he'll be fine to play," he said, revealing Jacobs' "deep cork" was the result of friendly fire from teammate Patrick Dangerfield's knee in the 32-point win against Gold Coast last Sunday.
"It restricted him on matchday but he's a pro and has been doing lots of recovery work and, to his credit, it looks like he's going to get up.
"If will be important to have him against such a unique ruckman like Sandilands, who is 10cm taller than any ruckman he comes up against."
Sanderson said star forward Taylor Walker — back in form with five goals against the Suns — would also play on Sunday, despite nursing a sore calf during the week.
The Crows will trim their 25-man squad to 22 later today.
