The Tigers’ injury situation deteriorates further as Hopper suffers a hamstring injury.

Richmond’s injury struggles have deepened with Jacob Hopper sidelined for two to three weeks due to a hamstring injury.

Hopper was forced off the field during the third quarter of Wednesday’s clash against Melbourne, and subsequent scans revealed a mild hamstring strain.

This setback comes just as the 27-year-old had returned from a knee injury that kept him out of action for the past month.

His absence adds to Richmond’s extensive injury list, which now includes 13 players. The Tigers, currently in 17th place, are preparing to face Fremantle next Sunday.

Here’s the updated injury list for Richmond:

– Noah Balta: Knee – 1-2 weeks
– Jacob Bauer: Hamstring – 2 weeks
– Judson Clarke: ACL – Season
– Mate Colina: Back – TBC (long term)
– Liam Fawcett: Back – TBC (long term)
– Josh Gibcus: ACL – Season
– Jacob Hopper: Hamstring – 2-3 weeks
– Tom Lynch: Hamstring – 8-10 weeks
– Dion Prestia: Hamstring – 2 weeks
– Jack Ross: Foot – 8 weeks
– Jayden Short: Calf – 1-2 weeks
– Tim Taranto: Wrist – 6-8 weeks
– James Trezise: Ankle – 1-2 weeks
