AFTER leaving training early on Thursday with an ankle complaint, Richmond midfielder Dion Prestia says he did not hold back on Friday as the Tigers prepare for their qualifying final with Geelong next week.

The former Sun admitted to having carried an ankle injury throughout the season.

Prestia was spotted limping off the track but he told Fox Footy there was no cause for concern.

"It might have looked a bit bad yesterday, but I trained everything today in the main session that we did," Prestia said.

"So it got a good hit-out and it's all good."

Prestia has missed three matches this campaign – two with a hamstring issue and another with a knee/calf complaint.

"I've had a bit of an ankle thing going on all year so I've dealt with it for a long time — so no worries at all,” he said.

“I think it's just something we'll have to deal with at the end of the year, but it's not affecting my performance. Once we're out and going, it's fine."

Prestia was limited to 22 matches in 2015-16 after dealing with knee injuries.

Richmond is aiming to win its first final since 2001.
