CARLTON has named six potential inclusions - included three confirmed changes - among its 26-man extended squad for Round 5.

After missing last week’s clash with Gold Coast, Corey Durdin (who celebrates his 20th birthday today) and Marc Pittonet both return to the senior fold, having featured in the opening three wins of the season.

There’s also a confirmed return to the AFL line-up for Luke Parks, in what will be his first senior game of the campaign.

Rewarded for his standout VFL form, Parks’ inclusion in the starting 18 means he will feature for the Blues on Sunday.

The Blues will be without Patrick Cripps, who will miss due to a hamstring injury sustained in the Round 4 match, while Jordan Boyd and Lachie Plowman have been omitted from the squad.

Rounding out the inclusions to the extended squad are Matthew Cottrell, Paddy Dow and Jack Newnes.

They’re joined by Tom De Koning, Lochie O’Brien, Matt Owies, Will Setterfield and Zac Williams on the eight-man interchange: the Blues will finalise their 22 at 5pm on Friday.

In: Matthew Cottrell, Corey Durdin*, Paddy Dow, Jack Newnes, Marc Pittonet*, Luke Parks*
Out: Patrick Cripps (hamstring), Jordan Boyd, Lachie Plowman
