Richmond’s depth is set to be bolstered, with the imminent return from injury of three players - Matt White, Daniel Connors and Matt Dea.
The trio is expected to be back playing in a week’s time.
White sustained a medial ligament strain in his left knee while playing for Coburg in the VFL two weeks ago, Connors has been sidelined with a quadriceps injury for several weeks, while Dea has missed most of the season with shin splints.
Given the long-term injuries suffered by Kelvin Moore, Dylan Grimes, David Astbury and Tom Derickx, the return of three players will provide some timely relief for the Tiger talent stocks.
