Port Adelaide expect key defender Jack Hombsch to recover from a knee injury in time for Sunday's AFL away game against West Coast.

Hombsch was a late withdrawal from Port's loss to Richmond on Saturday night.

Half-back Hamish Hartlett is also tipped to recover from a corked thigh and play against the Eagles, according to the club website.
