Richmond have confirmed that star forward Tom Lynch and important swingman Noah Balta are set for extended times on the sidelines. The key duo both sustained fourth-quarter injuries in Sunday’s thrilling win over Sydney at the MCG, with Lynch suffering a significant hamstring tendon injury behind his left knee. 7NEWS chief AFL reporter Mitch Cleary said it was the “worst possible news for Richmond” after Lynch’s scans earlier on Monday morning.
Richmond football performance manager Tim Livingstone said the injuries were unfortunate. “It is rotten luck for Tom, who worked extremely diligently to prepare his body for the season after what was a tough season for him last year,” he said. “Unfortunately for Tom, he landed in a motion that has caused this injury. “He will consult a surgeon in the coming days, which will give us a clearer picture of the injuries timeline, but we are expecting he will be out for the longer term.
