EURO-YROKE has been dealt a major blow with Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera set to miss another three games with a calf injury.<\/p>\n
The reigning Trevor Barker Award winner was a late withdrawal ahead of Saturday night’s game against Gold Coast in Darwin due to what he thought was a corked calf against Carlton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old was scanned before the trip to the Northern Territory and the\u00a0results\u00a0were inconclusive.<\/p>\n
Wanganeen-Milera travelled and wanted to play, but the club opted to take a conservative approach after the injury didn’t settle down last week.<\/p>\n
But since returning to Melbourne, the Saints have investigated the issue further and discovered a low-grade strain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wanganeen-Milera will now miss both games across Sir Doug Nicholls Round against Richmond and Walyalup, plus the round 12 Thursday night clash against Hawthorn.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0South Australian is the No.9 rated midfielder in 2026, after moving to that role full-time this year, and leaves a hole in Ross Lyon’s midfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n
St Kilda co-captain Callum Wilkie has been cleared of internal damage after copping a knee in the back from Suns star Ben King at TIO Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wilkie has played 164 consecutive games since making his debut at the start of 2019 and will need to prove his fitness later in the week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But after finishing Saturday night on the bench, there is growing confidence the All-Australian key defender will be able to maintain his streak and face the Tigers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera is set for a spell on the sidelines in a major blow to the Saints Nasiah…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":655317,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,83,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-666406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-text","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/666406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=666406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/666406\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/655317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=666406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=666406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=666406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
