Richmond midfielder Ben Cousins was admitted to the Epworth Hospital earlier today suffering from abdominal pain.
Cousins will remain in hospital overnight for observation and will undergo tests in the morning after he has fasted.
“Ben’s condition does not appear serious but as a precautionary measure we would like some tests done to see what the problem is,” Richmond General Manager of Football Craig Cameron said.
“It is doubtful that Ben will play against Essendon in the NAB Challenge match in Morwell on Saturday.” he said.
