August 22nd 2008 03:49
ST KILDA small forward will be assessed at training today to see determine whether or not he will take his place in the side to play Adelaide at Telstra Dome on Sunday.
Milne suffered a fractured cheekbone in the Saints' 43-point win over Fremantle at Subiaco Oval last Sunday and underwent minor surgery on Thursday.
But St Kilda skipper Nick Riewoldt said Milne was a chance to play in the Saints' must-win clash against the Crows.
"He had minor surgery and will train this afternoon so fingers crossed he'll come up," Riewoldt said.
"At this stage he's a chance but we won't know until this afternoon. He looks okay and it's hard to keep a bloke like Milney down.
"He needs to train to assess whether he's ready to play and I'm sure they'll give him right up until game day."
