Adelaide forward Josh Jenkins will make his return from injury against Richmond on Sunday evening.
Jenkins and defender Jake Kelly have both been recalled to the Crows team, replacing the injured Riley Knight (hamstring) and Troy Menzel (omitted).
Menzel, draftee Myles Poholke and ruckman Reilly O’Brien are the emergencies
Jenkins hasn’t played since injuring his ribs against Hawthorn in Round Two, while Kelly has recovered from an eye complaint that kept him out of last week’s win over Gold Coast.
Two-time All Australian defender Daniel Talia is also set to tackle the Tigers.
Talia experienced hamstring tightness early in Adelaide’s clash with the Suns, but trained with the squad on Thursday morning.
Coach Don Pyke said he expected the 2014 Crows Club Champion to play.
"When he (Talia) first presented, our doctors thought it was a hamstring (injury), but the scan was clear, so it might be some tendinitis he was suffering,” Pyke said on Thursday.
"He cooled off with the ceremony for Anzac Day last week, and then when he went to go, he felt something and they treated it and it settled down really well.”
Limited tickets remain for Sunday’s twilight clash between the two undefeated teams at Adelaide Oval.
The game starts at 4:10pm with gates opening at 2pm.
It’s the first time since 1981 that two teams with 5 – 0 records will go head to head.
Star forwards Eddie Betts and Jack Riewoldt will both be hoping to reach the 500-goal milestone this weekend. Betts has kicked 498 career goals, while Riewoldt is sitting on 497.
