Jonathon Ceglar and Gary Rohan will return to Geelong's line-up to take on Sydney in Saturday night's clash at GMHBA Stadium.
Rohan is returning from a one-game suspension, while Ceglar is playing his second game for the year, having also stepped up in ruck Rhys Stanley's absence against Gold Coast in Round 3.
Stanley suffered a fractured eye socket in last weekend's win over West Coast Eagles and underwent surgery this week. He is expected to be out for the medium-term, as is forward Tyson Stengle, who sustained a fracture of the midshaft of the radius to his left arm, which also required surgery.
Geelong will name its substitute an hour prior to the first bounce.
Saturday's match will be a big occasion for Geelong, which enters the contest with back-to-back wins. It is the Cats' first game at GMHBA Stadium for the season, and will see the unfurling of their 2022 Premiership Flag.
The Cats will also be wearing a commemorative Anzac Day guernsey as part of the AFL's Anzac Round, and will have an ANZAC Ceremony prior to the match.
First bounce at 7.25pm. Fans attending are encouraged to be in their seats by 6.40pm ahead of the 2022 Premiership Flag unfurling ceremony and ANZAC Service.
