Likely out for season
Soldo (knee) has been placed on the "long-term" injury list, his club announced Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Soldo underwent knee reconstruction surgery in the offseason and some recent smaller procedures haven't healed very quickly. As a result, he's effectively been taken off the roster until 2022 and someone new will be picked up in the mid-season draft.

Headed for extended absence
Soldo suffered a ruptured ACL and MCL in Friday's match versus Geelong and will be sidelined for an extended period of time.
ANALYSIS
It's an unfortunate early end for the big ruckman, who needed help leaving the field late in the first half of last Friday's match. Given the extent of his injury, there seems a decent chance he will miss a portion of the 2021 campaign as well.

Injures left knee against Geelong
Soldo was helped off the field in the final moments of the first half after injuring his left knee, acceding to Callum Twomey of the league's official website.
ANALYSIS
Soldo came down awkwardly from a mark and wasted no time calling for help from the bench. This will only add to the depth problems that Richmond have at ruck, but Toby Nankervis will likely carry the burden and represents a much more productive player than Soldo.

Makes 37 hitouts in loss
Soldo logged 37 hitouts and made four tackles during Friday's 62-50 loss to Greater Western Sydney Giants.
ANALYSIS
Soldo only collected three disposals in the match, which drags down the ceiling of his high hitout total. As a result, Soldo isn't nearly as consistent as some of the other rucks among the league's top teams.
