Swans forward Ben McGlynn will be fit for selection for this weekend’s match against North Melbourne.

McGlynn, who was subbed off with an ankle injury in the third quarter of Saturday’s win over Port Adelaide, is expected to complete full training this week.

Swans physiotherapist Matt Cameron told sydneyswans.com.au that McGlynn’s substitution on Saturday was a precautionary measure.

“He had a minor ankle complaint and we were just a little bit worried that he may not last through the game, so he was subject to the substitution,” he said.

“He’s pulled up really well and we’re expecting him to train later this week and be right to play.”

While McGlynn is expected to make a full recovery, Cameron said Swans defender Nick Smith will not be fit to play in Sunday’s match.

Cameron said Smith is still recovering from an inner ear infection, which lead to a case of vertigo last week.

“Nick won’t be right to play this week,” he said.

“He’s still got an inner ear infection which came on during the week.

“He is on the improve now and he started some exercise again, but he’s not going to be right in time to train and play.”

Cameron added that long term injury-listed players Alex Brown, Tom Mitchell and Matt Spangher are all on the road to recovery.

“They’re all coming along well and have had no set backs,” Cameron said.

“We’ve got young Alex Brown, Tom Mitchell and Matt Spangher all due to start training with the team next week.”
