Port's Wines "fine" but will miss AFL game

Port Adelaide's Brownlow medallist Ollie Wines says he's feeling "100 per cent fine" after a heart scare, but won't play against Carlton in Sunday's AFL game.

Wines was substituted out of Port's loss to Melbourne last Thursday night and was in hospital overnight for tests.

He was diagnosed with heart irregularity but says the issue has cleared, though he will be tested further during the week.

"I'm 100 per cent back to normal," Wines told reporters on Monday.

"There were a few little issues but they've been rectified now.

"I'll miss this week (against Carlton) at this stage.

"There are some more tests to look into this week just to get a bit of an idea of a timeframe but hopefully not (miss) too much footy."

Wines admitted the nature of his problems during Thursday night's game were initially concerning.

"It was during the game, and then after the game ... they rushed me off (to hospital) when they saw something was wrong.

"But the (hospital) staff, the cardiologist and nurses there, were so reassuring and really put my mind at ease."

Wines' absence for the MCG clash against the Blues is another blow for Port, who are the only winless club after four rounds.

Attackers Charlie Dixon (ankle) and Orazio Fantasia (knee) are yet to play this season and will be sidelined at least another month.

All Australian backman Aliir Aliir is recovering from ankle surgery and expected to miss another fortnight.
