Richmond premiership star Dion Prestia may miss Friday night's clash with Geelong after suffering a rib injury against Collingwood.
The 25-year old copped a big hit from Pies veteran Travis Varcoe on Saturday afteroon but played out the game.
The gun midfielder had scans on Sunday to determine the severity of the injury and there is every chance the Tigers play it safe and don't risk him this weekend.
โHe copped a big hit on the weekend and heโs got some sore ribs,โ Sam McClure toldย SEN Breakfast.
โMy understanding is he went in for scans yesterday and itโs one of those things that the Tigers and Dion wonโt like being talked about.
โItโs similar to last year when Patrick Dangerfield had two broken ribs and was trying to hide it as much as possible, and Scott Pendlebury the year before had two fractured ribs and Nathan Buckley didnโt want to talk about it, because it makes him an easy target for opposition players.
โThey will see how bad it is, heโll probably train with a guard and see if he can get up for this week.โ
Prestia has played nine games this season after struggling through hamstring and calf problems.
