Tyson Gamble, a half for the Newcastle Knights, suffered a fresh injury blow when he broke his jaw on his return to first-grade last weekend.
Despite missing the first six rounds of the season with injury, he was named to play last Sunday but was unable to make a significant impact in the game against the Cronulla Sharks.
Despite this, he was named to play again the following weekend against the New Zealand Warriors in Christchurch for Anzac Day.
However, Gamble was ultimately removed from the team list 24 hours before the game after it was revealed that he had also suffered a broken nose.
The Newcastle Knights confirmed Gamble's injury, stating that he did not travel with his teammates to Christchurch due to the extent of his injuries.
This setback comes as a blow to the team, as they were hoping for Gamble to provide a spark in their scoring efforts.
Gamble's absence will be felt by the Knights as they face the Warriors without one of their key players in the lineup.
Despite the disappointing news, the Knights will have to regroup and adjust to the loss of Gamble as they face the Warriors.
Head coach Adam O'Brien will need to make the necessary changes to the team to compensate for Gamble's absence and ensure that they remain competitive in the match.
The team will need to work together and step up in Gamble's absence to fill the void left by his injuries.
Gamble's injury adds to the challenges faced by the Knights this season, as they strive to overcome setbacks and injuries to remain competitive in the competition.
The team will need to rally together and support each other as they navigate through this latest setback and continue to push for success on the field.
