PORT ADELAIDE forward Zak Butters is expected to be available for next weekend’s game against Sydney after being cleared of any major damage to his cheek.

Butters had stitches for a laceration to his right cheek after colliding with captain Tom Jonas in the final quarter of last night’s game against Richmond.

Scans have shown Butters has a small hairline crack in the cheek bone, but he has been cleared by a specialist to be available to face the Swans at Adelaide Oval on Saturday week.

Jonas also had stitches on an eyelid laceration he received in the same contest.

Midfielder Trent Dumont will miss the Round 14 game after straining his right calf and coming from the ground in the third quarter of the loss to the Tigers.
