Richmond midfielder Dion Prestia will not face the Suns this weekend, the club has confirmed.

The former Gold Coast player has played 15 games in 2017 but will be rested for the clash against his old club.

Tigers coach Damien Hardwick said that Prestia only "just got through" last week and is struggling with knee and calf problems.

It's unclear if he will miss more than one game at this stage.
