RICHMOND vice-captain Nathan Foley is in doubt for the season opener against Carlton on March 25 after suffering a setback in his attempt to return from an ankle injury which prematurely ended his 2009 campaign.
The 24-year-old midfielder, who underwent surgery on the injury in August last year, re-visited the surgeon on Wednesday for a minor procedure.
"Nathan had been progressing well with his rehabilitation program, but has experienced some soreness in the last week," Richmond Elite Performance Manager Matthew Hornsby said.
"The medical staff decided the best course of action was for him to have minor surgery."
"The surgery will prevent him from running for the next couple of weeks, and we will continue to take a cautious approach with his recovery."
Foley played in all of the Tigers' first 14 games last year before the injury forced him to sit out the remainder of the season.
