The South Sydney Rabbitohs have been hit with yet another injury setback as star player Cody Walker is set to be sidelined for more than a month with a calf tear.
This adds to the time he has already missed this season due to a hamstring injury earlier on.
The club confirmed that Walker sustained the new injury during training and will be out of action for between four and five weeks.
The loss of Walker is a significant blow for the Rabbitohs, who have struggled in their recent games, suffering two consecutive losses and being held scoreless by the Canterbury Bulldogs in their last match.
This injury further complicates the team's efforts to bounce back and regain their winning form.
Walker's absence will be felt on the field, as he is a key playmaker for the Rabbitohs and has been instrumental in their offensive strategies.
His versatility and ability to create scoring opportunities for his teammates will be sorely missed during his time on the sidelines.
The timing of this injury is unfortunate for South Sydney, as they were already facing challenges in finding their rhythm and consistency on the field.
With Walker out of action for an extended period, the team will need to regroup and adjust their game plan to compensate for his absence.
The Rabbitohs will now have to rely on their depth and resilience to overcome this setback and stay competitive in the tough NRL competition.
Walker's injury serves as a reminder of the physical demands of rugby league and the importance of depth in the squad to navigate through the challenges of a long and grueling season.
As the team looks to navigate through this difficult period without one of their star players, they will need to rally together and find ways to overcome the adversity to get back on track and work towards achieving their goals for the season.
