COLLINGWOOD is set to recall Jordan De Goey to its senior team for Friday night’s game against Adelaide.

Barring any mishap or an unexpected change of heart, foxfooty.com.au understands the 22 year-old will be named for his return match following a club-imposed suspension and a subsequent hamstring injury.

However there is bad news for opportunistic forward Jamie Elliott and midfielder Taylor Adams, who both suffered low grade hamstring strains at training on Wednesday.

Both players will miss the Crows clash but have a 12-day break between that game and ANZAC Day against Essendon to be proven fit.

Finals Week 1

De Goey booted four goals and Elliott five majors in a 130-point win over the Northern Blues on the weekend.

De Goey appeared to have recovered from his hamstring strain sustained while he was serving an indefinite suspension from the club for blowing 0.095 — almost double the legal limit — in a random breath test in mid-February.

The suspension has since been lifted and, with Scott Pendlebury declaring the No. 5 draft pick looks “like a new Jordy” on Saturday, the Pies will not waste any time reintroducing him to the senior fold.

Coach Nathan Buckley conceded De Goey was fit to play at his weekly press conference but remained tight-lipped on whether he would make the final 22.

Elliott had surgery on his left ankle last November and had a lighter pre-season as a result. He too appeared unperturbed by any perceived fitness concerns but the club was taking a more cautious approach before throwing him back into the senior side.

De Goey will join Josh Thomas in a revamped forward-line that functioned well against Carlton.

Thomas bagged a career-best five majors, while Adam Treloar spent almost 50 per cent of the match in the front half, adding speed and skill around goal. Will Hoskin-Elliott, Ben Reid and Steele Sidebottom also chimed in with nine goals between them.

Meanwhile, veteran Daniel Wells will return via the VFL against Port Melbourne on Saturday.

Magpies football boss Geoff Walsh confirmed the 33 year-old would play following a spate of Achilles and hamstring troubles that have hampered his time at the club.

“He is on top of the Achilles and hamstring tightness he has been experiencing,” Walsh told the club website.

“So we expect a good, strong week on the track from Daniel and he will return through our VFL program this Saturday.”

Darcy Moore is expected to be available for selection following a hamstring strain in Round 5 or 6, while midfielder Levi Greenwood (knee) is still at least a fortnight away.

Kayle Kirby did the warm-up at training on Tuesday but no more. The forward is still undergoing testing on his heart after he collapsed midway through a VFL match a fortnight ago.

Although he remains on light duties, the club is confident he will make a full recovery.
