Carlton looks set to regain Dale Thomas and Troy Menzel from injury for Sunday's clash with Brisbane at Etihad Stadium.
Thomas has been sidelined since Round 1 after suffering a shoulder injury just minutes into Carlton's season opener against the Tigers, while Menzel has missed two matches with a calf injury.
Nick Graham and Levi Casboult have also been named in the extended 25-man squad.
Mark Whiley will line up for his second match in the Navy Blue jumper after making his Carlton debut last week, while Blaine Boekhorst has also been named to play.
The only out for the Blues is Lachie Henderson, who will miss the Mother's Day match with an injured hamstring.
Carlton's final side will be named tomorrow.
