Melbourne Storm winger Xavier Coates has escaped serious injury despite leaving training on-board a medical cab on Thursday.

Coates suffered a slightly sprained ankle but is expected to feature in the Storm's round 1 clash against Parramatta.

A Storm spokesperson said Coates was only taken in a medical cab due to the distance between the field and the club's medical room.

But Storm will continue to take a cautious approach with Coates given his long history of injury setbacks.

Coates, 23, is likely to miss the Storm's upcoming trial matches as a safety measure but is expected to play in round 1.

The Storm travels to New Zealand for their first trial game against the Warriors before hosting the North Queensland Cowboys in another match at second home Casey Fields.
