Gold Coast Titans head coach, Justin Holbrook, provided an update on the injuries of Jayden Campbell and David Fifita.
Campbell was a late withdrawal from the Titans' recent game against the Canberra Raiders due to a syndesmosis injury, while Fifita was sidelined with a hamstring complaint.
Syndesmosis injuries can be serious and require surgery, potentially keeping players out for up to three months.
However, Holbrook revealed that Campbell's injury does not seem to require surgery, and he may return in four or five weeks.
Holbrook said, "We had a bit of good news on JC [Jayden Campbell], so we don't think he will need an operation." On the other hand, Fifita is expected to be out for about a month with his hamstring injury, although Holbrook noted that this was the initial diagnosis and the return timeline could change.
The news of Campbell's quicker than expected recovery is positive for the Titans, as his presence has been valuable to the team.
Meanwhile, the potential for a change in Fifita's return timeline leaves hope for an earlier comeback.
The Titans will have to adjust their lineup in the absence of these key players, but Holbrook's update provides some reassurance for fans.
The team will need to rely on other players to step up and fill the void left by Campbell and Fifita during their recovery.
Overall, Holbrook's update brings a mix of good and not-so-good news for the Gold Coast Titans.
While Campbell's injury seems less severe than initially feared, Fifita will still be sidelined for a significant period.
The team will need to focus on maintaining their performance without these key players and look forward to their return in the near future.
Holbrook's transparency in providing updates on player injuries helps keep fans informed and hopeful for a successful season despite these setbacks.
