Which article? This clip from Peter Burge says he,ll more than likely not play this week:http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2018-08-13/round-22-injury-update
RICHMOND midfielder Kane Lambert has been ruled out of Friday night’s blockbuster against Essendon after undergoing minor ankle surgery.
Lambert is expected to miss the next two weeks after suffering the injury in the opening term against Gold Coast on Saturday.
He is expected to be fit for the first final.
“He played out the game but probably wasn’t able to run as well as he normally would. He was a little bit inhibited and came in yesterday limping,” Tigers fitness boss Peter Burge said.
“He went into some minor surgery this morning to put some reinforcement onto the ankle.
“Right now he’s probably going to miss the next two weeks and we’re going to prepare him for the first final.”
Small forward Dan Butler has also undergone minor ankle surgery and will miss at least two more weeks.
Kane Lambert has had surgery on his ankle.
“He’d been progressing and building his speed and running about 95 per cent, but still with a bit of a limp and still not full power,” Burge said.
“So last Friday he went in and had the same minor procedure that Kane had this morning, which means he’s going to miss probably the next two games.
“We’re preparing him for the first final at this stage … we’ll get a much better result with this minor surgery.
“We’ll start him running later this week and build his speed.”
The news is better for Toby Nankervis who will return from a corked quad this week., while Reece Conca who could also play this weekend despite hurting his “good” ankle in his VFL return.
