RICHMOND big man Matthew Richardson will go into Sunday's crucial clash against Sydney at the SCG much fitter after struggling with a knee injury during last weekend's 'Dreamtime at the G' win over Essendon.
Richmond coach Terry Wallace revealed on Tuesday that Richardson injured his knee against Geelong in round eight and needed a late injection in his knee to get through last weekend's game.
Wallace said that Richardson was moving alot better at training this week, and provided that he did not receive another knock on the knee his injury 'will just get better and better from this stage onwards'.
"He struggled last week, he had a problem with his knee and he virtually didn't train for the whole week but he is certainly better leading into this week's game than last week," Wallace said.
"Even on the weekend, just prior to the warm-up just before the match, he had to sneak up the race and get another injection into his knee."
"He is playing under a bit of sufferance but it has settled down."
"He didn't do any more damage to it last week and it has settled down a heck of a lot better this week than last week."
