George Hewett, Robbie Fox, Ryan Clarke and Callum Sinclair are among six inclusions to the Sydney Swans squad to face Essendon at the SCG on Sunday afternoon. 

Youngsters Chad Warner and Dylan Stephens are in line to make their debuts after also being included in the squad that will be narrowed to a final 22 at 5pm on Friday.

Ruckman Sam Naismith (hamstring) and small forward Ben Ronke (knee) are out of the side that defeated Adelaide in Round 1.

Coach John Longmire said the side was looking forward to returning to play on Sunday.

“The players are all excited as are the staff and it is just good to have footy back again," Longmire said.

"We had a few injuries to some key players over the last few weeks which was unfortunate but the rest of the group has come back in really good condition and have been able to get a good solid three week training block into them.

"We are confident in our preparation going into this week."
