Prestia doubtful, Vlastuin and Lynch hammy issues, now Lambert, looks like our young brigade will be getting plenty of opportunity

[mightytiges]

Lambert has been in a holding pattern. He's running laps and alike at training but he's been doing that for most of the preseason.

ps. Prestia and Lynch are fine while Floss' hammy doesn't appear to be too bad.

Says it's similar to Hurley  .

It’s understood the Lambert procedure would be similar to that undertaken by Michael Hurley, who had a hip joint replaced in September in a bid to resuscitate a career derailed by a serious infection.

Leading sports medico Dr Peter Brukner told SEN Hurley’s operation five months ago was known as a “resurfacing” and not as major as a full hip replacement.

Hurley has recently resumed running, but is yet to re-join full training at the Bombers.

That’s a real shame. Bloody hell we really need a Ross to step up now more than ever.

According to Peter Burge:

"Kane's been managing a chronic long-term hip issue for a while now, the last couple of years. But, it's been manageable and he's been able to play quite a lot of footy. Last year, he missed a few games and was managing some other issues as well. But this pre-season, the hip has become a little bit more of a problem for him. At the moment, he's doing two running sessions a week in the rehab group and a little bit of football training. We just haven't been able to progress to the next level with intensity in our football drills. At the moment, Kane's getting some alternative therapies to help with his hip and is seeking various pieces of advice from professionals around his long-term management of that. At the moment, we're just finishing a course of some therapies with it. Today, he did two drills with the main group and looked quite good. So, we'll just go through that process over the next couple of weeks and we'll keep everyone informed as to how we're going and how it's progressing."

Midfielder Kane Lambert will miss the start of the 2022 AFL season as he undergoes a separate training program to recover from a niggling hip injury.

The Tigers weighed up whether to place Lambert under the knife, which would have sidelined the onballer for a majority of the season, however have opted to "push through" with his recovery.

"Lambert is starting a training block now. So we saw some surgeons, had a couple of conversations but we're going to push through," Hardwick said.

"Hopefully he's not too far away."

IMPORTANT TIGER PREPARING FOR EARLY RETURN FROM HIP ISSUE

By Andrew Slevison
SEN
8 April 2022

Kane Lambert could be set to return for Richmond in the next week or so.

That is according to premiership teammate Jack Riewoldt who says the 30-year-old might be seen again in Tigers colours at either VFL or AFL level this weekend or next.

Lambert has been sidelined by a hip injury which at one point threatened to derail his season, but Riewoldt indicates that things have improved recently.

“Bit of a watch this space on Kane Lambert,” Riewoldt said on SEN Tassie.

“He may be playing this week or the week after which is very, very interesting.

“A very, very important player on the ground and around the club.”

Lambert is a vital player to Richmond’s structure highlighted by his hard running as a high forward doubling with his contested ball winning ability.

He played just 13 games last season due to calf, groin and hip issues, but in the preceding seasons was one of the club’s most important players during its triple premiership run.

Lambo is playing in the ressies tomorrow.

Wasn't there talk of him missing up to 6 months or longer? This is good news

Lambert pulled up well after playing a half last week and is set to play 3 quarters in the VFL on Sunday according to Dimma.

Lol Lambert can wait another week despite playing in the ressies albeit a half but did well. But Vlastuin can come straight back in with out any match practice in god knows how long.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Vlastuin had a full preseason right up until he pinged a hammy in the pre season vs Hawks. Lambo barely had a pre season.

Lamberts injury a hell of a lot more serious too. Talk about complaining for the sake of complaining.
