Sydney has confirmed Alex Johnson has ruptured his ACL for a sixth time.
Johnson tore his ACL in the opening term of Sydney's clash against Melbourne on Sunday, with the Swans confirming the news of his injury on Tuesday.
“Clearly this is a really disappointing outcome for Alex,” Harley said.
“Alex has worked so hard over the past six years to get back to playing football and for this to happen in his second game back is just shattering for him and for us.
“Alex has shown unbelievable resilience and determination over his career and will continue to be an inspiration to his teammates and the wider AFL community.
“As we saw after the injury on Sunday, Alex is the ultimate clubman and will be doing all he can to support his teammates from the sidelines for the remainder of the season."
Nick Smith will also miss six weeks with a hamstring tendon injury.
