Sydney star Lance Franklin will have his pre-season delayed by surgery.

The 31-year-old needs surgery on his groin, the same one he injured at the end of the season against GWS.

He is expected to return to skills training in January, according to Sydney's release.

Sydney's head of football Charlie Gardiner says Franklin should make a full recovery.

“It was planned that rest would be the optimal form of recovery post-season for Lance," he said.

"However it hasn’t healed at the rate we would have liked and surgery was determined as the best course of action.

“We are confident Lance will make a full recovery and he’ll do everything possible to bounce back and play a big part in 2019.”
