ADAM Goodes is fighting an uphill battle to be at his best for the Sydney Swans' upcoming finals campaign after it was announced he would undergo surgery on his right knee on Tuesday.

Goodes injured his knee against Port Adelaide 10 days ago and it was initially thought he would only miss one week, but the cartilage damage he sustained hasn't recovered as the club's medical staff had hoped.

The decision has now been made for the 33-year-old to undergo surgery, which will rule him out for at least six weeks.

Coach John Longmire said on Monday a return in round 21 or 22 would be the "best-case scenario" for the Swans' games record-holder.

That would then leave just the round 23 showdown with Hawthorn as potentially his final hit-out before the finals.
