02-07, 2025The Saints have confirmed that all three players were sent for scans following Friday morning's training session to determine the extent of their injuries. King's injury is focused on his knee, while Sinclair suffered a hamstring strain, and Wood is experiencing quadriceps soreness. The team is awaiting the results to understand the severity of each player's condition.
St Kilda's Football Manager, David Misson, stated in a club statement: "We will provide further information once we have the scan results. We understand the concern surrounding Max, Mason, and Jack, but it would be irresponsible to speculate until we have those results." The club is taking a cautious approach, emphasizing the need for accurate information before making any assessments.
Last week, the Saints announced that young player Mattaes Phillipou would miss the start of the season due to a stress fracture in his leg. Additionally, defender Dougal Howard is sidelined with a dislocated shoulder, and Rowan Marshall is managing a back injury. King, who signed a contract extension with the Saints until 2032 last October, only played 12 games last season due to a knee injury, highlighting the team's injury woes.
Sinclair finished second in last year's club best and fairest award, behind Callum Wilkie. The defender had previously won the award for two consecutive seasons and has been named in the All-Australian team twice. Wood played 18 games last season and found his place on the wing, contributing significantly to the team's performance.
