AFL superstar Lance "Buddy" Franklin has been injured after an apparent brawl at a Perth nightspot last night.
Police were called to break up a fight at the Botanica Bar in Scarborough Beach Rd about 9.15pm after an incident between the Hawthorn forward and another group, PerthNow reports.
Franklin had been socialising at the bar with his sister Bianca, a prominent netballer, and her fiance, Canberra Brumbies and Wallabies rugby star Matt Giteau. Western Force captain Nathan Sharpe and his wife, Jessica, were also there.
WA Police spokesman Sgt Graham Clifford played down the incident today, but police sources have told PerthNow that Franklin was apparently punched in the face, sustaining bruising to an eye and swelling to his lips.
