Star Richmond forward Tom Lynch is in doubt for Thursday's clash against Hawthorn with an ankle injury.

Lynch has been diagnosed with low grade bone stress in his right foot and despite the low severity of the injury, the Tigers will look to be cautious with the big man.

The 27-year-old has suffered multiple injuries in the past, including a posterior cruciate ligament while at the Gold Coast Suns in July 2018 and also has a history of knee problems.

Lynch was one of the only shining lights in Richmond's draw with Collingwood last Thursday night, kicking three of Richmond's five goals for the match.
