After dealing with a nightmare run of injuries that left Richmond's list on its knees, coach Adem Yze will welcome a selection headache with open arms when it comes his way in the next month.
The Tigers have been hit hard by injuries all season, with the situation so critical they almost needed VFL top-up players last month.
But the crisis is finally easing, and Richmond will welcome back captain Toby Nankervis and 2024 first-round draft pick Taj Hotton for Sunday's clash with North Melbourne at the MCG.
Hotton, who suffered a bone stress in his hip in the pre-season, hasn't played at AFL level since the final round last year.
Nankervis returns for the first time since injuring his hamstring in round two.
