The Melbourne Storm has shared an injury update regarding their star fullback, Sua Fa'alogo, following a concerning head clash during their recent match against the Wests Tigers on Sunday.
In an attempt to tackle, Fa'alogo collided heads with teammate Jahrome Hughes, resulting in a difficult situation that forced him to leave the field in the first half.
Fortunately, scans have confirmed there are no fractures in the facial area, indicating he has avoided serious injury.
Since the injury is limited to soft tissue, he will be cleared to play and available for selection this weekend.
This news serves as a significant boost for the Storm, who appear to be regaining their top form after ending a seven-game losing streak against the Tigers.
Fa'alogo's return is great news not only for the Storm but also for the NRL, as his presence certainly enhances the viewing experience for fans, especially with Magic Round approaching this weekend.
The dynamic fullback possesses remarkable speed, allowing him to navigate through opposing defenses with ease, making him a considerable threat on the field.
In the team's impressive 44-16 victory over the Tigers, the Storm's spine rose to the occasion after Fa'alogo exited, with standout performances from Cameron Munster, Harry Grant, and Hughes.
As they prepare to face the Parramatta Eels on Saturday, the Storm aim to maintain their strong momentum heading into the pivotal Origin period, when they may be missing some key players.
