Collingwood will manage veteran defender Jeremy Howe for Saturday's crunch clash against Carlton at the MCG.
Howe pulled up lame after last week's win over North Melbourne with a groin injury and was always in doubt to face the Blues.
Premiership defender Isaac Quaynor makes his way back to the senior side after missing the past fortnight with an ankle injury.
Pies coach Craig McRae is set to recall young key forward Charlie West for his third game of the season after strong form in the VFL, helping fill the forward line void left by the injured Lachie Schultz.
West has been a focal point of the club's VFL forward line for the majority of the season, and has gone goalless on one occasion.
More to come.
