After the Tigers' 11-point win against the Suns over the weekend, Serpell spoke to Richmond Media to provide an injury update ahead of the Anzac Day Eve clash with Melbourne at the MCG on Thursday night.

Judson Clarke: Available

“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.”

Rhyan Mansell: Available

“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.”

Samson Ryan: Foot, 2-3 weeks

“Samson Ryan has come out of the game with a bit of a foot complaint, a fascia plantar complaint, so he will probably miss the next 2-3 weeks,” Serpell said.

“He will get some scans on that over the next couple of days, and we will get a picture on that.”

Mykelti Lefau: ACL, 4-6 weeks

“Mykelti is doing really well, we can say that his timeline is around 4-6 weeks now,” Serpell said.

Tylar Young: ACL, 5-7 weeks

“Tylar Young is doing really well at the moment, and he is probably at 5-7 weeks from returning to play,” Serpell said.

Harry Armstrong: Hamstring, 10-12 weeks

“No real progress on (Harry) to talk about. We said a while ago it would take 12 weeks, and we are still on track for that,” Serpell said.

Dion Prestia: Achilles, TBC

“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."

Taj Hotton and Josh Gibcus: ACLs, TBC

“They are progressing, similar to last week, so I don’t have any real updates on them, but when I have information on that, I will bring it out,” Serpell said.
