Riewoldt out injured for AFL clash: Saints

St Kilda coach Alan Richardson says veteran Nick Riewoldt will miss Saturday’s clash against the Western Bulldogs because of a knee injury and nothing else.

Richardson says Riewoldt is not being rested for the clash, instead he was forced out of the match against the AFL champions at Etihad Stadium with a bruised knee.

But the coach admits it is good timing because it means the 34-year-old former skipper can have some extra time off, with the Saints having the bye next round.
