Speedy Richmond utility player Matthew White will be sidelined for the next 2-4 weeks with a medial ligament strain in his left knee.

White sustained the injury playing for Coburg in the VFL last Sunday following his omission from the Richmond side that defeated Brisbane at the Gabba on Saturday night.

He was a key factor in Coburg’s stunning upset win against the Casey Scorpions, with his ball-getting ability, strong running and effective disposal.
