Richmond forward Rhyan Mansell has entered a rehabilitation phase for an AC joint injury.

The small forward injured his shoulder in the Round 2 AFL clash against Port Adelaide and re-aggravated it against the Saints last Saturday.

Mansell, who is currently serving a three-week AFL suspension, would have likely missed two weeks with the injury. He should be available for selection at the conclusion of his ban.

Kane McAuliffe will also not play at VFL level in tomorrow's curtain raiser against Brisbane at Punt Road Oval.

The in-form midfielder reported foot soreness before Wednesday’s main training session, with the Club opting for a cautious approach while he awaits scan results.
