\n Latest injury update ahead of Round 10.\n <\/p>\n
Callum Wilkie is a test to face Richmond this weekend after the co-captain suffered a significant knee to the back during the second quarter of St Kilda\u2019s loss to Gold Coast in Darwin.<\/p>\n
The key defender briefly returned to the field before being ruled out of the game at half-time.<\/p>\n
\u201cCal will be given every chance to play this week,\u201d GM of Football, Lenny Hayes said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had a scan when we arrived home and has been cleared of any internal damage.<\/p>\n
\u201cUltimately, he\u2019ll need to get through main training on Friday to be ticked off to face the Tigers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera is set for a short stint on the sidelines after further investigation revealed a minor calf strain for the midfielder.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old pulled up sore following the Carlton game after copping a knock to his lower leg. Initial scans were inconclusive, with the club giving the young Saint every opportunity to prove his fitness ahead of the Darwin match.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe gave Nas every opportunity to get up for Saturday night, but ultimately decided to err on the side of caution,\u201d Hayes said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite presenting with minimal pain, results from his latest scan have confirmed a minor strain.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liam Ryan will also spend a short period in rehabilitation after sustaining a low-grade calf strain during a training session over the weekend.<\/p>\n
Positively, Jack Higgins and Paddy Dow have both progressed well through concussion protocols and will also be listed as tests this week, with the pair required to get through main training.<\/p>\n
Additionally, draftee Kye Fincher has been ruled out for the next six weeks after presenting with foot soreness following Sandringham\u2019s VFL clash on the weekend, with scans confirming bone stress.<\/p>\n
