Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has revealed star midfielder Dustin Martin is on personal leave from the club, and may miss this week's clash with the Giants.

"Dustin won't train today," Hardwick said.

"He's dealing with a couple of personal issues. Whether he plays this week, we're unsure at this stage.

"We won't close the door, but we just want to make sure that Dustin's OK.

"We are a football club, and it is important to win games but the health and wellbeing of our players is our number one priority."

More to come.
