The latest Maxigesic Recovery Report from warriors.kiwi reveals that three players are making a comeback this week, while three veteran players remain on the injured list for the New Zealand Warriors.
Fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, centre Rocco Berry, and prop Tom Ale are all set to return to action, with Nicoll-Klokstad and Berry playing on Anzac Day and Ale joining the New South Wales Cup team on Saturday.
Unfortunately, co-captain James Fisher-Harris is out for four to six weeks due to a pectoral injury sustained in the sixth round match against the Storm.
He is also joined by fellow 200-game veterans Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck in the recovery process.
Watene-Zelezniak is dealing with a wrist injury, while Tuivasa-Sheck is recovering from a hamstring issue.
Despite these setbacks, the team remains optimistic about the upcoming games and the return of some key players.
Warriors head coach Nathan Brown expressed confidence in the team's depth and ability to adapt to these challenges, stating, "It's obviously not ideal to have so many experienced players on the sideline, but we have a strong squad and some talented young players who are ready to step up."
The report highlights the importance of player safety and recovery in the NRL, with the team taking necessary precautions to ensure that injured players are given adequate time to heal before returning to the field.
Brown emphasized the need for patience and proper rehabilitation for the injured players, stating, "It's crucial that we give these players the time they need to fully recover and not rush them back into action."
Overall, the Maxigesic Recovery Report provides an insight into the current status of the Warriors' injured players and their expected return to play.
With a mix of experienced veterans and young talent, the team remains focused on maintaining a competitive edge despite the challenges presented by injuries.
