Struggling Saints hit with another injury blow

St Kilda have been dealt another blow with defender Jimmy Webster set to miss Sunday's game against Geelong with a hip flexor issue.

The Saints, already without spearhead Tim Membrey due to a knee complaint, head to GMHBA Stadium in desperate need of a win after two consecutive losses.

It's understood Webster didn't train on Thursday due to the injury. Young forward Josh Battle is expected to be included, with forward Josh Bruce likely to be dropped.

Big man Tom Hickey is expected to return to partner Rowan Marshall in the ruck.

Experienced midfielder David Armitage has struggled and remains under pressure to retain his spot.

The full St Kilda team will be announced on Thursday night.
