Essendon will welcome back veteran defender Dustin Fletcher for Sunday afternoon’s match against Port Adelaide after he was named in a 25-man squad to take on the Power.

It will be Fletcher’s first game since Round 11 against Carlton after missing the last few weeks with groin tightness.

Stewart Crameri has been ruled out of the side after injuring his ankle against West Coast last Thursday night.

Fletcher, Travis Colyer, Will Hams and Kyle Hardingham have all been included in the squad to be reduced on Friday afternoon.
