Boom Richmond recruit Tom Lynch has undergone a minor procedure on his injured knee as part of his rehabilitation.

Lynch will miss the next seven-to-ten days of training in order to improve the motion and flexibility of his knee, after tearing his posterior cruciate ligament last season playing for former club Gold Coast.

Tigers’ GM of Football Neil Balme says the procedure will be beneficial for the forward in the long-term.

“There was no issue with Tom’s injury, however we were given an option to progress his rehab, which will allow him to start running slightly sooner than expected,” Balme told Richmond's website.

“We expect Tom will be running in the next week to ten days, and he will ramp up his training loads again after the Christmas break.”

The 26-year-old landed at Punt Road during the trade period from the Suns.
