RICHMOND star Dustin Martin suffered a ‘minor’ fractured cheekbone in the Tigers’ 19-point victory over Collingwood last Thursday.

But the Tigers believe Martin is still a strong chance to play against West Coast on Saturday despite what they described as a ‘minor, undisplaced fracture to the cheekbone’.

Martin managed to play about three quarters of the Magpies game with the injury. Richmond will not make a decision on whether he plays until later this week, probably Thursday.

Crucially the Richmond star will not need surgery and the Tigers are optimistic that he can play with the fracture which left Martin with a black eye.

The Tigers view Martin as a resilient player who has the capacity to play hurt and he still managed to be one of their best players, kicking two late goals, on Thursday night.
