Tigers’ star forward is sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Tom Lynch will miss the rest of the 2023 season, according to the Tigers.
Due to a foot injury, RICHMOND forward Tom Lynch will miss the rest of the season.
Lynch has been out since round four after breaking his foot, with the Tigers hoping he will return in 2023.
They did, however, reveal on Thursday night that the 30-year-old will undergo another operation on his foot and would miss the remainder of the season.
“Tom is such an important player for us, so getting this right is critical,” Richmond general manager football performance Tim Livingstone said.
“We have monitored the bone throughout the season, and the healing process has been slow – but we have always maintained that Tom’s long-term health is our top priority.”
“It’s frustrating because we want Tom to play for us, but we also want him to be fit and firing in the long run.”
“This course of action has been recommended by our medical staff and will give Tom the time required to get this right for the future.”
Lynch scored nine goals in the first four games of the season.
The Tigers take on West Coast on Sunday, hoping to keep pace with the top eight.
