Sydney Swans senior coach Paul Roos has confirmed Barry Hall is likely to miss this weekend's match against Hawthorn at the SCG.

"I'm pretty sure Hally won't play, almost ninety-five percent certain," said Roos before the Swans trained on Friday afternoon.

"I don't think he'll even train, maybe do some run-through.  Unless there's a minor miracle and the medical staff demand his inclusion, I don't think he'll be playing."

While Hall will miss, defender Lewis Roberts-Thomson will return to the side for the first time in 2007.  He will be joined by fellow defenders Sean Dempster and Leo Barry, both returning to the side.
