The AFL website has reported that St.Kilda star Nick Riewoldt could be on line for a quick return from a serious hamstring tear.

Riewoldt sustained the injury in Round 3 against Collingwood and there were fears he could miss the season.

But, in news that will provide comfort for Saints fans, the athletic forward will return this season – and he has time to play a significant role for his club.

“Clearly, it’s within the next one to three weeks - it’s s about how many hurdles are put up,” St.Kilda coach Ross Lyon said.

“He continues to jump them and jump them really strongly, for an analogy, but if he clips one of them it will put him back a week straight away.”
