Rockliff complained of hamstring tightness during Port's loss to Hawthorn on Saturday.

But Power assistant coach Nathan Bassett says scans on Monday didn't show any area of concern.

"The scan was pretty good, he was running today, so he will be on the plane on Tuesday," Bassett told reporters.

"We wouldn't take him if we didn't think he was a good chance to play."

Port will take 24 players on the trip to Shanghai with vice-captain Hamish Hartlett among them.

Hartlett has yet to feature in AFL ranks this season after suffering hamstring troubles on his comeback from a knee construction last year.

Bassett said ruckman Scott Lycett was also likely to return after groin soreness ruled him out last weekend.

But half-back Ryan Burton, who strained a hamstring three weeks ago, would face a fitness test to determine whether he will fly out with his Port teammates.

Tenth-placed Port are ahead on percentage of 11th-placed St Kilda, with both clubs on five wins and losses this season.

Bassett hoped Port's experience playing twice in China would provide an edge over the Saints, who haven't played in Shanghai before.

"There's a benefit in having experienced it before, knowing your way around Shanghai and what to expect," he said.

"The club puts in a whole heap of effort to get this game and we have got a commitment into the near future that we keep playing there.

"So it absolutely adds pressure ... because a lot of work goes into it and we just have to turn up and ensure we play the best we can."
