Adelaide have confirmed the selection of recently hamstrung duo Max Michalanney and Luke Pedlar for Thursday night's qualifying final against Collingwood.
Both players missed late-season action due to hamstring injuries, with Michalanney in the Round 20 Showdown win over Port Adelaide.
Pedlar's most recent performance under coach Matthew Nicks came a fortnight later, with the small forward missing his side's last home and away game of the minor premiers' campaign due to injury.
While both players were cleared from the club's injury list ahead of September, there was a wait on whether the duo would both earn recalls for the Crows' first final since 2017.
Speaking on Wednesday, Nicks confirmed both Michalanney and Pedlar are expected to suit up against the Magpies, pending their final training session for the week.
"Max looks great, physically and mentally he's ready to go," Nicks said.
"We know Max can play multiple roles. One of the things we looked at this year was becoming a more flexible team, players becoming more flexible individually to play all different roles that we might need at different times. If he needs to go forward to the ball… then we'll do that.
"We want to make sure players pull up well today (after training), but Pedlar will also more than likely come in. Those two guys you'll see out there tomorrow."
Pedlar's expected return comes at a critical time for Nicks, who is without attacking pair Izak Rankine (suspension) and Josh Rachele (knee) for this week at least.
The Crows also have wingman Lachie Sholl listed as a test following a hamstring injury of his own from the recent weekend.
