AFL: Collingwood’s Scott Pendlebury prepares for game 400 against Carlton on the weekend.

The star forward is set to return against Collingwood on Saturday night after the Blues withdrew him ahead of their loss to Port Adelaide due to an unspecified illness.

 

The league confirmed on Thursday it had completed its inquiry and was “comfortable with the medical management” of McKay.

“I think he’s been fine (with the heightened attention). The AFL were quite entitled to ask the question. Our doctors worked really closely with the AFL. They sent some information around the week and the timelines, the process that we needed to follow.”

Voss said the Blues were poised to enter Saturday night’s MCG blockbuster with their selected side, as Jordan Boyd (shin) and Blake Acres (foot) ticked off their final boxes to play on Thursday.
