SYDNEY superstar Lance Franklin is expected to train on Wednesday, with the Swans reiterating he is in no doubt for Friday's semi-final against Geelong at the MCG.

Franklin suffered a corked thigh in the first quarter of the Swans' elimination final win over Essendon.

He booted four goals during the second term, having spent quarter-time on an exercise bike, but was put on ice at three-quarter time.

"We have training on Wednesday and he'll train, and play on Friday night," Swans football manager Tom Harley said.

"Lance has recovered really well.

"When you're assessing injuries during a game, the fact players can play through the games is a really positive sign.

"He's an absolute pro in what he does post-game."

Young defender Lewis Melican, who was a last-minute scratching from the Swans' elimination final because of a tight quad muscle, could be in the mix to return against the Cats.

"He was touch and go last week but couldn't quite get up," Harley said.

"He's been running, so we're looking forward to seeing what he can do on Wednesday.

"That's our final session, we expect him to train and be available for selection, so we'll address it then."
