Hawthorn star Cyril Rioli admits he is unsure whether he will play again this year, saying it "might be a long shot" if his knee and hamstrings can't get right soon.

Rioli has been sidelined since round eight with a PCL injury.

"It has been a bit frustrating not being able to play," he told Triple M.

"(I'm) not too sure when I'll be back, obviously rehab's going pretty good."

But Rioli said his hamstrings have also lost a bit of strength while recuperating.

"But I've lost a bit of hammy strength in the legs, so if that's not right then, being the knee too, it might be a long shot," he said.

"I'm just looking forward to getting out there again."
