"Isolated: Bachar Houli trained away from the main group on Monday as he recovers from injury. Richmond defender Bachar Houli has been ruled out for Round 1, he sustained a calf injury at training today.
"You can say as much as you like, 'It's just like coming back for round one after a pre-season', but it's really been completely different," he said. Dual premiership Richmond star Bachar Houli is no certainty to face Collingwood on June 11 as he continues to recover from recurring calf injuries.On a day when all AFL clubs were allowed to resume full contact training, Houli wasn't able to partake and was forced to train away from the main group.Houli missed the Tigers' round one clash against Carlton almost 10 weeks ago and while his most recent setback is at the lower end of the scale, teammate Jack Riewoldt said no risks would be taken with Houli.
Richmond won’t risk defender Bachar Houli on Thursday night as the Tigers seek redemption in their clash against Collingwood. "He's had a couple of small calf issues, this one's nothing major but it's just a precaution obviously when you start developing a bit of a history with calves, you've got to be really diligent and a bit careful with it," Riewoldt said. We need to do some sort of contact, but we obviously don't want to be smashing each other. "[Like] we do with any player, if they're not right to play, or if there's an element of risk that outweighs the reward, then we will go down the path of another week off or another two weeks off and when he's right to go he'll be back and firing. "The news is better for Houli's fellow defender Nick Vlastuin, who is on track to face the Magpies after suffering a concussion against the Blues in the season opener.Riewoldt said finding the balance between going really hard at training, now that full contact is allowed, and easing off has been tricky. "Riewoldt said it was exciting to see all of his teammates in the same place for the first time since the shutdown was enforced two months ago.

Richmond will provide a further update on Houli in the coming days. "Basically we're in a really unknown situation at the moment but I think our guys have got it right. Bachar Houli has opted out of Richmond's road trip to Queensland and will miss the AFL club's next five matches in the wake of his wife giving birth to their third child last week. Houli opted not to head into the Tigers’ interstate hub after his wife Rouba recently gave birth to the couple’s third child. "I'm not sure whether he will put his hand up to play in two weeks' time. Bachar Houli’s mother has taken a positive step in her fight against COVID-19, Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has revealed. Houli announced his mother had the virus two-and-a-half weeks ago and on Thursday told reporters at Melbourne Airport she was getting better. Isolated: Bachar Houli trained away from the main group on Monday as he recovers from injury. Game Day News, Notes & Injuries.. Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has rallied around Bachar Houli after receiving positive news on his mother Yamama.Houli opted not to head into the Tigers’ interstate hub after his wife Rouba recently gave birth to the couple’s third child.The 32-year-old revealed on Monday that his mother was in intensive care battling COVID-19.Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Hardwick said Richmond were informed Yamama’s condition had improved.“Bachar and his family are incredibly important to us,” the dual premiership coach said.“He’s such a prolific member of our club and I think his mum is doing better from the news that we got today, which is incredible.“We just hope she continues to be on the mend because Bachar and his family are hurting and we’re hurting as well.”Hardwick downplayed whether Houli and Shane Edwards, who also chose to stay home to look after his pregnant wife, will return to play for the team this season.The pair are among a host of Tigers still in Victoria for personal or injury reasons and, with no games likely to be played in the state any time soon, all players must join the hubs to take the field.“It’s too far to project and we’ve seen how consistently things change day to day,” Hardwick said.“With the situation we’re in, those guys might be here in six or seven weeks, they might be here in one week.“We’re not too sure. "But to be actually out there today and just be able to have a conversation and chat and ask how blokes are going is really important. "There's the contact aspect of it but there's also the physical demand of what's the right amount of work to be doing," he said. "And obviously this shorter three weeks to get ready to play footy is something that not a lot of sides would have dealt with so I reckon there's a real advantage in sides that get it right and we feel that we're doing it the right way at the moment.
"We know that the season is shorter and backing up is going to be really important that we can't go out there and smash blokes into the ground because this year is the year that everyone needs that full list and will need it big time.
