Adelaide captain Simon Goodwin is in doubt for Sunday's AFL match against Melbourne.

Goodwin suffered what the Crows termed a corked knee during Adelaide's loss to Sydney last Saturday.

The skipper will face a fitness test later this week to determine his selection for Sunday's MCG fixture, a club spokesman says.

Adelaide have already ruled out ruckman James Sellar, who will miss up to three matches with a hamstring strain.

Utility Scott Stevens, who was concussed in round one and missed last weekend's game, is expected to return against the Demons.

Forward Chris Knights is also set to return to AFL ranks after making a successful comeback from a knee injury in the SANFL on Saturday.
