In a blow for the Eels, Ryan Matterson has been added to the rehab group after sustaining a quad strain during intense pre-season training.
The forward's unfortunate injury will keep him out of action for a period of four weeks, leaving a void in the team's lineup.
However, the Eels remain optimistic about Matterson's recovery and anticipate his return to full training post-Christmas.
This setback serves as a reminder of the physical demands and challenges that rugby league players face throughout their careers.
As the Eels continue their preparations for the upcoming season, they will be hoping to overcome this hurdle and ensure that Matterson returns stronger than ever.
