The Sydney Roosters are anxiously awaiting the results of scans on star halfback Sam Walker's left leg following a concerning injury in their clash against the Canberra Raiders.
In a cruel twist of fate, Walker was forced off the field in the 12th minute of the game after a non-contact incident while chasing his own grubber kick.
The young gun reportedly heard a 'crack or pop' in his knee, sending alarm bells ringing among the medical staff.
Initially feared to be an ACL injury, there is now uncertainty surrounding the extent of the damage.
The Roosters' medical team described the injury as 'quite serious' but are still awaiting further analysis to determine the exact nature of the problem.
With an ACL injury potentially sidelining Walker for up to a year, the Roosters are hoping for a more favorable prognosis.
The premiership contenders will be sweating on the scans to determine the young playmaker's availability for the crucial upcoming matches.
As the race for the premiership heats up, the Roosters will be hoping for good news on Walker's injury front to keep their title hopes alive.
