PORT ADELAIDE veterans Chad Cornes and Michael Wilson are in line for a recall but won't be rushed back because of Shaun Burgoyne's three-match suspension, according to coach Mark Williams.
Cornes is recovering from a broken hand and has been cleared to play by a surgeon while Wilson made it through his comeback game for the Port Adelaide Magpies in the SANFL.
Williams said Cornes was more than a 50 per cent chance of facing Sydney at AAMI Stadium on Saturday, but he wouldn't be included if he's not ready.
"We can't put Chad or his well-being in jeopardy just because of the result of Shaun and that goes for Michael as well," he said.
Williams said Wilson, who hasn't played at AFL level since the preliminary final against the Kangaroos last year, pulled up a bit sore and wouldn't be rushed back from a long-term injury.
"His (Wilson's) legs were a bit sore afterwards but definitely not his Achille's (tendon)."
"When they come back from long-term injuries you've got to look after them and not consider it's just linear, that all of sudden that everything goes well for them."
