Hawks must wait
Sportal 8/5/2006
Hawthorn will find out on Monday afternoon about the seriousness of a wrist injury suffered by youngster Lance Franklin.
Franklin, who was on the verge of senior selection, had scans on Sunday after injuring his wrist while playing for the Hawks' VFL affiliate Box Hill and will find out the results on Monday afternoon.
"It's been well documented today that Buddy hurt his hand on the weekend and he was someone who we're hoping we might get back in the side soon but we're just waiting on the results of scans there," Hawthorn skipper Richie Vandenberg said on Monday morning.
The 19-year-old's latest setback comes just one week after returning from an ankle injury sustained prior to round one and threatens to further delay his 2006 senior debut.
