INJURY prone Richmond midfielder Mark Coughlan has suffered another injury setback.
The 26-year-old returned to the Tigers' VFL affiliate Coburg last weekend after recovering from hamstring soreness associated with two knee reconstructions in the previous two seasons.
Coughlan got through unscathed in Saturday's big win over Collingwood's VFL side, only to experience more hamstring soreness during training on Wednesday.
He is expected to be sidelined for several more weeks.
"The club will continue to investigate all possible methods of rehabilitation to help Mark return to senior football," Richmond said in a statement.
Injuries have restricted the talented Coughlan who won the club's best-and-fairest award in 2003 to just 83 games for the Tigers since making his debut in 2001.
