Richmond forward Rhyan Mansell is available for selection after overcoming a shoulder injury.
Mansell was last seen in Round 3 against St Kilda, where he received a three-game suspension for pushing Liam O'Connell into the contest.
Despite missing the next three clashes through the ban, the Tigers forward hurt his shoulder and his been on the mend.
Richmond High Performance Manager Ben Serpell says that Mansell would've been close to selection had he not been suspended, but the extra week will give him a greater chance to return to AFL level.
"Mansell was pretty good last week, and he probably could've played but had to sit out because of his suspension," Serpell said.
"We are hoping he can have impact at some level this weekend as well."
ACL victim Judson Clarke is also looking to return to football in some capacity next weekend.
Clarke - who tore his ACL in 2019 - was wiped out of the 2024 season due to the knee injury, but has been given extra time to right his body before playing.
"I'm really looking forward to this weekend because Judson Clarke is going to make his return from an ACL, and he will be available for selection," Serpell said.
"He is excited to come back, and the last couple of weeks he has been wanting to play footy, and this is his opportunity."
Veteran midfielder Dion Prestia remains under an unknown injury cloud as issues with his Achilles still persist.
Prestia hasn't been sighted in 2025 and that fact will remain, with the club cautious of his progress.
"Unfortunately, Dion isn't progressing as well as we liked, so it's hard to put a time frame on him at the moment," Serpell said.
"We are still looking to get him a bit of gametime before the bye, but we will see how that goes over time."
Richmond will get a chance to continue their win streak as they prepare for Thursday's Anzac Day Eve clash against Melbourne.
