    Good news for Richmond Tigers: Two key players are back from long gone injury

    Tigers star out for ‘extended period’ amid growing injury toll

    Adem Yze is dealing with a monster injury list, with Jack Ross and Tim Taranto the latest concerns

    STAR Richmond midfielder Tim Taranto needs surgery on a fractured wrist after suffering the injury during an innocuous incident at Tigers training.

    The reigning Jack Dyer medallist went down during Richmond’s main session at Punt Road on Friday morning, ruling him out of Sunday’s match against West Coast.

    Taranto will miss an extended period in arguably the biggest addition to the mounting injury list confronting first-year Tigers coach Adem Yze.

    “We are incredibly disappointed for Tim that he will miss some football, but we know the professional he is,” Richmond football performance boss Tim Livingstone said on Friday.

    “He will keep himself fit and strong and return as quickly as he can.

    Double midfield blow adds to Tigers' mounting injury toll

    “It was an unlucky incident right at the end of (Friday’s) session.

    “He will have it operated on immediately, and we will see where everything is at after that.”

    Taranto, 26, had not missed a game since arriving at Richmond from Greater Western Sydney ahead of the 2023 season.

    News of his injury came just hours after Richmond confirmed fellow midfielder Jack Ross would miss about eight weeks with a stress fracture to his foot.

    Ross, 23, has been on the fringes at Richmond and was the substitute in round one, but had played the Tigers’ past four games in the midfield, averaging 23.5 disposals per match.
