RICHMOND at least had good news today with young midfielder Ben Nason cleared of serious injury from Saturday nights NAB Cup humiliating defeat.
Scans showed Nason escaped with bone bruising to the right knee after he was carried off on a stretcher early in the match against Hawthorn in Launceston.
It was feared the 20-year-old from SA club Central District had ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament when the leg buckled as he sprinted on the wing in the first half.
Whille bruising to the bone can sideline a player for up to a month, the Tigers are relieved young draft pick’s season is not over.
Adam Thomson, recruited from Port Adelaide, will be rested this week with mild concussion after being accidentally KO’d during the game.
