ADELAIDE defender Daniel Talia remains a chance to overcome a hamstring injury and play against Richmond in Sunday's clash of two unbeaten sides.

The All Australian backman limped off the ground early in last week's win against Gold Coast but scans have shown no serious damage.

Crows-Tigers not just about Rory v Dusty

Crows high performance manager Matt Hass said the early prognosis was good for Talia.

"He has recovered quite well," Hass said.

"We expect him to do some of the training with the team and we’ll test his availability for the weekend.

"He (Talia) had a little run around today and he's been getting up to pretty good speed," teammate Rory Sloane told reporters on Wednesday.

"That is one we will just assess tomorrow. Obviously he came off the ground pretty tight on the weekend but we will give him every chance to play."

Backman Jake Kelly has also been cleared to return to playing.

Kelly missed Adelaide’s trip to the Gold Coast after being poked in the eye against Essendon in round four.

Riley Knight also suffered a hamstring injury and will have a fitness test later in the week.

"It does not look too serious at this stage," Hass said. "We will manage his (training) load across the week and do not expect him to miss too much football."

Talia's inclusion looms large in Sunday's Adelaide Oval encounter given the hot form of Richmond's ace forward Jack Riewoldt.

And the Crows could also summon their own key forward Josh Jenkins, who is pressing for selection after missing the past three matches with a rib injury.

Jenkins, like Talia, will face a fitness test on Thursday ahead of team selection as the Crows seek to continue their unbeaten season.

Adelaide's winning stretch is already a club record - they had never before won the initial five games of a season.

"Certainly a very good start to the year and as has been noted the best start to a year we have had as a footy club," Sloane said.

"It's just enjoyable footy to play at the moment. It's an enjoyable place to be around.

"And the guys are certainly confident coming into the games and have a lot of belief in their ability."
