Nick Riewoldt underwent scans this morning that have confirmed the initial diagnosis of club medical staff that he has sustained no structural damage to the ACL.
The scans confirmed the hyperextension of the joint during the fourth quarter of the game against Melbourne last night caused some trauma to the area, which will most likely see Riewoldt sidelined for a couple of weeks.
St Kilda GM Football Performance Jamie Cox said the prognosis was relatively positive.
“While scans have confirmed there is no structural damage to Nick’s knee, the hyperextension of the incident has caused some trauma around the joint and bone bruising which will likely take a few weeks to settle,” Cox said.
“We will treat this symptomatically over the next couple of weeks and provide further updates throughout Nick’s rehabilitation,” Cox said.
