All-Australian duo Lance Franklin and Dan Hannebery are both set to return to Sydney's lineup for Saturday night's AFL clash with Port Adelaide.
Star forward Franklin was rested from last Friday's 22-point win over Essendon at the SCG because of knee tendonitis.
Fifth-placed Port host second-placed Sydney at Adelaide Oval in their round-20 game.
"He's moving well today," Longmire told reporters on Monday.
"We expect him to train this week and play on Saturday."
The big left footer has kicked 50 goals in his first season with the Swans after winning two Coleman Medals, four All-Australian jumpers and two premierships with Hawthorn.
Sydney's 2013 All-Australian midfielder Hannebery has resumed training after missing six games with an ankle injury.
"We expect him to be available to play," Longmire said.
Sydney's run of 13 wins in their past 14 games isn't helping the cause of veteran Ryan O'Keefe.
O'Keefe, 33, hasn't played senior football since round four and is stuck on 286 games.
The Norm Smith Medallist's manager Darian Lobb has said his client wants to play on at another club.
But Longmire says O'Keefe has told him he's undecided.
"I spoke to him just after those comments and he said he hadn't made a decision," Longmire said.
"That's what he said after those comments were made, that he hasn't made a decision on next year at all."
Longmire admits O'Keefe will find it tough to get back into the senior side.
"It's going to be a bit of a challenge if he hasn't got in to this point," Longmire said.
"You never know what's around the corner but we've been pleased with the balance of the team and how they've been going."
Premiership onballer Craig Bird has agreed to a new deal which will keep the 25-year-old at the Swans until at least the end of the 2016 season, the afl.com.au website reports.
