Jeremy Marshall-King and Felise Kaufusi will be missing from the Dolphins' line-up for Round 8 against the Raiders due to injuries.
Marshall-King is recovering from an infection in a thigh gash, while Kaufusi has a strained medial ligament in his knee.
Marshall-King will be given an extra week to allow his cut to heal properly, while Kaufusi's return timeline remains uncertain.
Max Plath, on the other hand, may still be able to play after sustaining a foot injury in the team's recent victory over the Storm.
According to the article, Marshall-King's injury occurred two weeks ago, and he requires more time to ensure proper healing.
This setback will keep him out of Sunday's match but gives him a chance to return for the game against the Roosters in Magic Round.
Kaufusi's injury is described as a strained ligament in his knee, which will also sideline him for the upcoming match.
However, like Marshall-King, Kaufusi is hopeful to be back in action for the clash at Suncorp Stadium.
The Dolphins will have to make adjustments to their lineup due to these key absences, but the team remains optimistic about their chances moving forward.
Coach Adam Castillo will need to rely on other players to step up and fill the void left by Marshall-King and Kaufusi.
The team will also be monitoring Plath's recovery closely to determine if he will be fit to play on Sunday.
Despite the setbacks, the Dolphins are determined to continue their winning streak and maintain their strong momentum in the competition.
The absence of Marshall-King and Kaufusi will undoubtedly be felt, but the team is confident in their ability to overcome these challenges.
As they prepare for the upcoming match against the Raiders, the Dolphins are focused on regrouping and preparing to face their opponents with determination and resilience.
