Dolphins NRL have provided an update on the injury front, with news that back-rower Euan Aitken has suffered a suspected ruptured pectoral muscle during Thursday night's clash against the Rabbitohs at Kayo Stadium.
In a cruel blow for the Dolphins, Aitken was forced off the field in the 19th minute after emerging from a tackle clutching his arm.
He was unable to return to the game, leaving his teammates to battle on without him.
The Dolphins' medical team will now conduct scans to assess the extent of Aitken's injury, with fans eagerly awaiting further updates on his condition.
Adding to the injury concerns, Kodi Nikorima also came off late in the game and will be closely monitored for a sternum injury.
The Dolphins will be hoping for a positive outcome as they look to keep their momentum rolling in the season.
As they say in Rugby League, injuries are just part of the game, but the Dolphins will be hoping for a speedy recovery for both Aitken and Nikorima.
Fans will be cheering on their boys as they tackle this setback head on, with hopes of a strong return to the field in the near future.
