Tigers forward Jack Riewoldt is in doubt to take on the Saints this Saturday after coughing up blood during the club's round nine loss to West Coast.
โRight on the three quarter time siren, Jack Riewoldt bumped Liam Duggan as he was kicking,โ Sam McClure toldย SEN Afternoons.
โHe came off second best from that bump. He was actually coughing up blood at three quarter time.
โThat caused a little bit of an issue when they were coming home.
โIt meant that they had to tell Virgin Airways staff the nature of Riewoldtโs injury and then the club doctor had to have a few conversations with one of the pilots, the captain, of the flight coming home.
โRiewoldt ended up flying home business class, he was eventually cleared to fly.
โIt will put him in some doubt against the Saints on Saturday.โ
The 29-year old was one of Richmond's best against the Eagles, booting five goals.
The Tigers meet the Saints on Saturday afternoon at the MCG.
