High-flying defender Jeremy Howe is set return to the side three months after breaking his arm in Collingwood’s Round One clash against Geelong.
The 32-year-old has been participating in full contact training for over a month after a lengthy journey through rehab.
On Howe, Senior Coach Craig McRae said:
“Howie will play,” McRae told SEN’s The Run Home.
“He’s missed a lot of footy, but again rewarding our staff, our rehab team are incredible … they do a great job getting these guys ready, they do a power of work.
“He has missed time, but Howie has trained for a month football-wise, and he’s done about 10 weeks of running, he's as fit as you could imagine. Fitness won’t be an issue.”
Jamie Elliott, Finlay Macrae, and Jack Ginnivan are also included in the extended squad.
The final team will be confirmed at 5pm on Friday evening.
