ESSENDON midfielder Jobe Watson is unlikely to play in his side's clash against Richmond at the MCG on Saturday night.
The club initially said he’d only miss one week with a bruised back but coach Matthew Knights today conceded his chances of facing the Tigers were slim.
Knights said the club didn't want to risk Watson sustaining any further injury by being rushed back to early.
“His scans are clear. It’s just there’s been some tightness there and he would have to train, he would have to sparkle for me to select him because he’s too much of an important player to have him out for long,” Knights said.
