Sydney have named Lance Franklin for Saturday’s blockbuster AFL clash with Hawthorn, who will welcome back skipper Jarryd Roughead.
Roughead returns after missing the past two games with an ankle issue but the Hawks will be without key defender James Frawley (back).
Ricky Henderson and David Mirra are the other inclusions with Marc Pittonet and Conor Glass omitted.
Franklin remains in some doubt, having been on restricted duties at Sydney’s final training session of the week.
The Swans have indicated they will give Franklin until game day to show he has overcome a groin injury.
Franklin warmed up away from the Swans’ main group at the SCG on Thursday, although that has been a regular occurrence throughout a season in which the superstar has nursed a heel injury.
The gun forward, who has been inspirational in the Swans’ late-season resurgence, suffered the minor setback during the final quarter of his team’s derby victory.
Heath Grundy is the only inclusion for the Swans, replacing Robbie Fox (omitted).
The veteran backman has been sidelined for the past month while battling mental health issues but returned at reserves level last week.
A top-four finish is on the line for the winner of Saturday night’s game at the SCG.
GWS star Josh Kelly, Richmond, skipper Trent Cotchin and Fremantle’s Stephen Hill are among the other confirmed inclusions for round 23.
