Carlton coach Brendon Bolton has confirmed both Matthew Kreuzer and Dale Thomas won't make the trip to Adelaide to face the Power on Friday night.

In his pre-match press conference on Thursday morning at the Melbourne Airport, Bolton ruled the pair out through injury, and confirmed youngster Cam Polson will make his debut against Port Adelaide.

Andrew Phillips will come into the side for Kreuzer, and Bolton also confirmed Patrick Cripps is a certain starter.
