INSPIRATIONAL Brisbane Lions co-captain Luke Power is racing the clock to be fit for a crucial AFL clash against Richmond after missing training last night.

The Lions are keeping their fingers crossed Power will complete training tomorrow and take part in Saturday night's Telstra Dome showdown with the Tigers.

Power was pivotal for the Lions with 31 possessions in Brisbane's 46-point thumping of West Coast at the Gabba last weekend, despite nursing the shoulder injury.

Lions coach Leigh Matthews was confident Power would not be added to their injury list when he assessed his side on Monday. But Power sent a scare through the team yesterday when he did not front for training.

Jed Adcock (quad) and Joel Macdonald (ankle) also face fitness tests, but Jonathan Brown (shoulder) and Simon Black (hip) are expected to back-up for the clash against Richmond after soldiering on against West Coast.

The Lions (sixth) have not beaten Richmond (10th) since 2004 and have lost their past three games in Melbourne.
