Gold Coast will push towards an inaugural finals berth without Touk Miller after the star midfielder was sidelined for almost a month with a hamstring injury.

Miller was substituted out of the Suns’ statement win over Collingwood on Friday night with the concern.

The Suns managed to hold off the fast-finishing Magpies without Miller to announce themselves as a September contender.

Gold Coast physio Lindsay Bull said Miller would miss 3-4 weeks on Tuesday morning.

“Scans have confirmed that Touk sustained a hamstring strain on Friday night which will see him miss the next 3-4 weeks,” Bull said.

In more positive news for the Suns, key defender Sam Collins is poised to return from two weeks out with a calf injury, while Caleb Graham will also be available.

The week at Punt Rd just got better as Richmond released a pair of players from the rehab room.

Harry Armstrong will be available for selection after recovering from a long-term hamstring tear – a welcome setback for the Tigers without spearhead Tom Lynch.

Jasper Alger, meanwhile, has also made a miraculously swift return.

Alger was last week listed as 3-4 weeks away but recent scans revealed the ankle issue less worrying than the initial diagnosis.

“We scanned Jasper’s ankle last week after the injury report and realised the injury wasn’t as severe as what we thought originally,” Richmond performance manager Ben Serpell said

“Happy to say that he has pulled through training last week and is available for selection this week.”
