Melbourne Victory's Tom Rogic has been cleared of serious injury after going down in his side's 4-3 win over Adelaide United at AAMI Park on Saturday night.

Scans on Sunday revealed Rogic suffered a lateral sprain of his ankle, after being collected accidentally by teammate Leigh Broxham three minutes into the second half.

Rogic will not travel to China for Victory's mid-week Asian Champions League group stage match against Guangzhou Evergrande.

He will instead stay in Melbourne for treatment, but Victory is hopeful he will be available for selection for Saturday night's Melbourne derby. Coach Kevin Muscat said the club had "a very competent medical staff" to treat Rogic.

Victory will be without defender Pablo Contreras for Saturday's derby after the Chilean picked up another yellow card.

The lack of any long-term injury to Rogic is also good news for Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou, who can ill afford any more bad news, having lost winger Robbie Kruse and wing-back Rhys Williams to long term injuries, with captain Lucas Neill still clubless ahead of the World Cup in June.
