Canberra captain in doubt for NRL clash

Canberra captain Elliott Whitehead is in doubt for Sunday's NRL clash with Penrith after needing emergency surgery following a head clash in training.

Whitehead had plastic surgery on his mouth and a teeth realignment after the heavy impact with teammate Ata Moriata on Tuesday.

The Raiders will make a call on the 32-year-old's availability after their captain's run on Saturday morning, but say he is in doubt for the trip to Penrith.
