Patrick Dangerfield (hand), Jack Gunston and Matthew Jaensch are missing from the team that lost to Richmond at the MCG on Sunday.
Martin, who made his AFL debut late last season but needed a knee reconstruction after he was injured in his second game, has shown steady improvement in the past month with SANFL club Sturt.
Knights, a star in 2009 with 43 goals from 20 games, has battled a foot problem for most of the year and most recently suffered a side strain three weeks ago in the SANFL.
Adelaide has a light run on Saturday at 9.45am at Max Basheer Reserve.
The team is:
B: Johncock, Rutten, Stevens
HB: Doughty, Bock, van Berlo
C: Symes, Vince, Mackay
HF: Henderson, Walker, Knights
F: Sloane, Tippett, Douglas
R: Griffin, Thompson, Reilly
I/C (from): Maric, Porplyzia, Martin, Schmidt
Emerg: Sellar, Davis, Jaensch
In to 25: Johncock, Knights, Martin
Out of 22: Dangerfield (hand), Gunston, Jaensch
