Brisbane are faced with a lengthy injury list as they prepare for this weekend's Wizard Cup match against Sydney.

Nigel Lappin (virus), Chris Scott (groin), Tim Notting (knee), Martin Pike (calf), Beau McDonald (shoulder), Shane Morrison (hand) and Luke Weller (shoulder) have all been ruled out by injury, and Darryl White looked in doubt after rolling his ankle during the Lions' intraclub trial last Friday .

However, the Lions do expect Jason Akermanis (thigh), Daniel Bradshaw (thigh), Clark Keating (foot) and Craig McRae (tonsillitis) to be recovered and available to take on the Swans.
