Carlton captain Patrick Cripps has been given the all-clear to face Port Adelaide this weekend.

The reigning AFLPA MVP suffered a shoulder injury early in the game, but played on with it strapped.

Carlton Director of High Performance Andrew Russell said there are no issues with the shoulder.

“'Crippa’ had a minor episode to his shoulder during the game: he got it strapped, came back on and had really good strength,” Russell told the club website.

“He settled down well, trained today and there is no issue whatsoever: he’ll train fully on Friday and play.”

Veteran midfielder Marc Murphy also suffered a hip injury late in the game and is also likely to play.

“He is a little bit sore, he’ll be a test for this game,” Russell said.

“I think he’ll probably get up but he needs to get through training for the whole week. If he does, he’ll play: if he doesn’t get through, he won’t.”

The Blues will hoping to maintain their spot in the top eight against the Power at the Gabba this weekend.
