The Manly Sea Eagles have copped a couple of backline blows, with Jacon Saab and Tom Trbojevic ruled out for Round 27.
However, there's a silver lining to this cloud, as both players are expected to be back in action for the opening week of the finals, where the Sea Eagles have already booked their spot.
In a Monday afternoon medical update, the club revealed that Trbojevic has sustained a Grade 3 AC shoulder injury.
Despite this setback, he is only expected to miss one game and should be fit and firing for the finals.
It's a tough break for the Sea Eagles, but they will be looking to regroup and come back stronger for the business end of the season.
Stay tuned for more updates as these two key players work towards their return to the field.
