David Fusitu'a is set for around three months on the sidelines after undergoing surgery. The Leeds Rhinos winger was helped from the field during the club's defeat to Hull KR last month and scans showed the injury was worse than initially thought.
Initially, it was hoped that Fusitu'a would miss six to eight weeks of action. However, scans showed more severe damage that required an operation, which has extended his time on the sidelines as a result. He is expected to return within a ten to twelve-week timeframe.
It's a cruel blow for Fusitu'a, whose career has been riddled with injuries in recent years. He managed just 12 appearances in his final two seasons in the NRL and was selected for less than half of Leeds' games last season due to various injuries.
