Richmond defender Alex Rance is recovering well after an operation to fix a fractured cheekbone he suffered following a sickening head-clash with Troy Selwood last week.

Rance is set to miss three weeks, but the 19-year-old was back at Tigerland only a couple of days after being discharged from hospital.

Richmond Football Manager Ross Monaghan said Rance didn’t train, but did manage to suit up and roll some footballs out for some of the players.

Monaghan said Rance was in terrific spirits, and just needs to let the swelling settle before having a proper run around next week.
