St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt is set to play this Saturday against Gold Coast after scans tonight revealed no serious damage from whiplash.

General manager of high performance, Jamie cox, said the 32-year-old was taken to Epworth Hospital for scans as 'a precaution'.

"The good news is that Nick has been cleared of any serious damage and should be fine to play in Round 2," Cox said.

Riewoldt was injured in the fourth quarter of tonight's clash with GWS and was assisted to leave the field.

St Kilda has a six day turn around ahead of round two against the Suns at Metricon Stadium on Saturday night.
