Well the part of the hip which was injured was an attachment to the groin. By coming back in three weeks from a six week injury he has probably placed great strain on his groin which has been a problem area. The flair up would mean prolonged rest or playing on needles again. It's a matter of whether the medical team if thinking long-term or short-term. The latter and he may have a very short career. The former and he won't play much this year but he may be able to have another couple of quality seasons. Richmond has erred on the side of caution with Coughlan.
