Franklin has developed some groin soreness as he increased his training program, and with only four weeks of the season remaining, he hasn’t shown the level of improvement the medical team had expected...
“Lance has been working hard on a return to play and, until this week, we remained hopeful that would happen before the end of the season,” Gardiner said.
“However, given the soreness he has experienced in his groin, which suggests he still has some instability there, we believe the best course of action is for Lance to focus on building his core strength, rather than pushing himself to play again this year.
“Lance will remain with the team and continue his rehabilitation and training.
