Chris Yarran's football future remains clouded with Richmond unable to say when their new recruit will play football at any level for the Tigers or whether he will line up at all this season.

With Yarran due to return back to Melbourne from Perth on Thursday, the management around him remains highly sensitive as he deals with a number of personal issues.

The club revealed on Tuesday that the 25-year-old had returned home to deal with a difficult family situation, but Fairfax Media understands Yarran's emotional issues are more complex.

Chris Yarran's football future remains clouded with Richmond unable to say when their new recruit will play football at any level for the Tigers or whether he will line up at all this season.

With Yarran due to return back to Melbourne from Perth on Thursday, the management around him remains highly sensitive as he deals with a number of personal issues.

The club revealed on Tuesday that the 25-year-old had returned home to deal with a difficult family situation, but Fairfax Media understands Yarran's emotional issues are more complex.

Initially expected to return to playing from pre-season surgery six or seven weeks into the season, the club has removed any time line from Yarran's return to football and has not ruled out him not playing this season.

Those close to Yarran have been highly complimentary of the club's handling of the talented but troubled player.

While Richmond was disappointed at Yarran's physical condition when he arrived at the club after his off-season break, they have allowed the player a number of short leaves of absence to deal with his issues.

Yarran's manager Paul Connors refused to elaborate on his charge's football prospects this year, but confirmed the two would meet before the weekend.

Richmond played down the severity of the Yarran situation.

 The superbly talented former Carlton player came to the club as its biggest-name recruit in a trade after a difficult 2015 season with the Blues.

Tigers chief Brendon Gale strongly denied suggestions Yarran might never play for Richmond.

"My understanding was that he was progressing well through rehab," said Gale.

"He's been working with Trent Cotchin. His return may be indefinite but I certainly wouldn't say he won't be back this year.

"There's a fragility to Chris and we all understand that and we obviously knew this recent family news would hit hard."

 Soften the blow

Yarran on indefinite leave as he battles mental health issue

RICHMOND recruit Chris Yarran will take indefinite leave from the club as he seeks treatment for a mental health condition.

The half-back, who had been in Western Australia last week for personal reasons, has no timeframe for a return to the club.

Richmond released a statement on Thursday morning saying both Yarran and the Tigers' health and welfare staff felt it was in his best interests to seek professional treatment away from the club.

Coach Damien Hardwick said the 25-year-old would be granted as long as he needed to make a full recovery.   

"Chris's health and wellbeing is of the utmost importance to us and there's no timeframe on his return at this stage," he said. 

"He's a great young fella and we wish him the best.

"His health and wellbeing is No.1 for us and however long that takes, that's up to Chris and his practitioners.

"He's a star … we can't wait to have him back and he's an important part of our future."

Yarran is yet to debut for Richmond after crossing from Carlton in last year's trade period in exchange for pick No.19, a selection the Blues used to draft David Cuningham.

The speedster returned to pre-season training in poor condition and was initially troubled by a nagging calf injury.

After making a late bid to be right for round one, he broke down with a left foot injury that required surgery in March to repair the plantar fascia tissue.

Yarran now seems a long shot to play a game in his first season at Richmond.

Unreal.

I wouldn't have picked him regardless of his "easy way out" sickness.

So people suffering depression don't deserve any respect or compassion?

Do you have any idea how serious it can be?

Actually that's  a stupid questioj because clearly you don't

Hopefully that half a million dollars for not playing football makes it easier
