Reliable midfielder Kane Lambert, who has been sidelined with an Achilles injury for the past five rounds, has also been named in the Tigers’ squad.

Richmond’s leadership stocks are set to rise, with captain Trent Cotchin and previous stand-in skipper Shane Edwards both included in the squad.

Cotchin (general soreness), Edwards (hamstring tendonitis) and Ivan Soldo (illness) are in line to return after each withdrew from the Round 13 team ahead of the loss to Adelaide.

David Astbury, who has missed the last two games due to a minor hamstring injury, could also come back into the side.
