Cats coach Chris Scott has confirmed that Sam Menegola will be named in the 22-man team to play Collingwood at the MCG on Sunday.

Menegola missed the round five win over St Kilda after being suspended for a sling-tackle on Hawthorn's Luke Hodge the previous weekend.

He was named on the extended bench on Thursday evening when the Cats released their 25-man squad for the match aagainst the Pies.

“[Menegola is] still in really good shape,” Scott said at a press conference at Simonds Stadium on Friday morning.

“Obviously missing one with suspension meant he could train uninhibited, so he’ll be back in the 22.”

Menegola could end up being a straight swap for Daniel Menzel, who is being rested this weekend.

The entire 22-man team will be revealed at 5pm on Friday evening.
