LANCE Franklin is out of Sydney’s clash with Geelong.

In a double blow for the Swans, they will be without both Franklin and Dan Hannebery for this weekend’s imposing trip to Kardinia Park due to injury.

Franklin will miss with a bruised heel, while Hannebery has a groin injury.

Sydney coach John Longmire suggested Franklin’s injury started after playing on the hard surface at Optus Stadium during the side’s Round 1 clash with West Coast.

Finals Week 1

“Lance won’t play on Saturday. He hasn’t been able to do any significant training since the Round 1 game against West Coast,” Longmire said.

“He hasn’t responded after giving him time off and it got worse on the weekend, so he won’t be playing this week.

“We don’t know at this stage how he will respond to that.”

Hannebery will also miss due to a groin injury.

“It’s different to the one he had last year,” Longmire said.

“He had a significant groin injury last year that he had for the whole year. This is a groin strain. He’ll be out this week and we’re not sure how long he’ll be.”

Geelong is not without its own issues, with captain Joel Selwood suspended and fellow midfielder Scott Selwood expected to miss due to concussion.
