Richmond recruit Chris Yarran will miss the first third of the home and away season, coach Damien Hardwick has revealed.
Yarran, who crossed from Carlton in last year's trade period, has battled calf issues over the the pre-season, restricting his preparation.
โHeโs probably a little bit away, heโs had a couple of calf injuries, heโs been limited in his preparation in regards to that. Itโll take a little bit of time,โ Hardwick said on Wednesday.
โThereโs a lot of football to be played in 2016, he probably wonโt be ready for the start, heโll certainly be there when the whips are cracking.
โChris is going to be a long term player for us and we have a long-term view ... we look forward to him in the second third of the year.โ
โHe is as frustrated as we are. To his credit heโs battling on, heโs become part of the Richmond furniture.โ
