Ninkovic opened the scoring in the Premiers' 2-0 Victory over the Newcastle Jets before hobbling off the pitch following a rash sliding tackle by Ben Kantorovski.

But in a newsletter to club members on Tuesday, the influential midfielder said he's ready to play his part in the run to the season decider.

"My ankle is good but it is still a little bit sore," the 32-year-old assured fans.

"Everyday it's getting better and better, we have a very good medical team and I will be ready for the semi final.

"I expect to play but we have a very good team, very good players and confidence is high, so it doesn't matter who will play, we are the best team in the country and that's it."

 

Ninkovic added: "Grand Final I will play without a leg if I need to play.

"These next two days it's important to keep ice and (physiotherapist) Elias Boukarim will do everything with treatment and I already feel far better than yesterday."

Ninkovic missed the Premiers Plate presentation on Saturday to receive treatment on his ankle.

"I was very angry because I couldn't celebrate with my teammates," he said.

"I was also angry because it was not a good tackle, 75 minutes and in our own half, but this is football and you never know what can happen."
