Prestia will miss another week
.
------------------------------------------------------------
The news isn't as positive for Prestia with the midfielder likely to miss a third week with a calf strain.
The 25-year-old strained his soleus muscle against Fremantle in round seven and the Tigers have opted for a cautious approach to his rehabilitation given his lack of pre-season.
Prestia ran on the weekend and is nearing a return, but it is more likely to be against Essendon in round 11.
"He trained pretty well so he'd be some chance, but I think we'd more than likely be conservative about getting him back," Richmond football manager Neil Balme told AFL.com.au.
"We're keen for him to play but my guess is he'll probably be another week.
"He's certainly coming along very well and there's some chance he'll get up but I'd be thinking it's more likely not.
"He does get a few soft tissue issues and we just want to get him 100 per cent."
