Collingwood could be set for a significant boost for this weekend’s clash with Sydney, with four stars a chance to return.

Taylor Adams, Darcy Moore, Jordan de Goey and Mason Cox are all listed as tests for the Pies and could all be back at once.

Moore (ankle) and de Goey (shin) were late withdrawals last weekend against St Kilda, but are expected to be automatic inclusions.

Adams has missed three weeks with a groin injury, but is also listed as a test and could return.

Cox has been on the sidelines for longer than expected with a lower leg/ankle issue, one that coach Nathan Buckley said they would be cautious and patient with.

The club doesn’t have to rush him back with Ben Reid playing so well, but Cox’s selection availability could cause some headaches for the coaching staff.

Defender Tom Langdon is in doubt however, and could miss with a knee injury.

Travis Varcoe will miss due to suspension.
