Richmond are bracing for bad news regarding Nathan Drummond with the Tigers suspecting the 22-year-old will need another knee reconstruction.
While the club won't confirm the news until Drummond has scans, it is feared the third-year utility faces another lengthy stint on the sidelines after he left the ground in tears, helped by trainers, in the first half of Richmond's VFL clash with Sandringham at Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Saturday.

Rohan Connolly previews all the footy action ahead of round 5 in the AFL.
He went straight into the club's rooms, where he was visited by senior teammates watching the game, as well as senior coach Damien Hardwick.
The knee is not the same one he hurt almost two years ago to the day in his first AFL game against Melbourne on Anzac Day eve 2015.
After more than a year out of the game, Drummond bounced back in 2016, returning via the VFL before playing four AFL games late in the season.
The Victorian was drafted by the Tigers with pick 52 in the 2014 draft, and is a relation to former Carlton and Fitzroy footballer and South Australian governor Sir Doug Nicholls, after whom the AFL's Indigenous round is named.
Drummond signed a one-year contract extension with the Tigers last year, meaning his current deal expires at the end of this season.
