Latrell Mitchell is set to be ruled out of the State of Origin series decider with a foot injury, in a massive blow to the Blues.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Mitchell is undergoing further scans with the club and NSW confirming the star’s predicament.
Mitchell suffered the injury in the first half of the Rabbitohs’ win over Parramatta on Thursday night, but played through the pain and finished the game.
NSW coach Michael Maguire will now have to search elsewhere to fill the centres position, with Newcastle’s Bradman Best, Canterbury’s Matt Burton, Sydney Roosters’ Joseph Suaalii or Manly’s Tom Trbojevic, who returns from a hamstring injury on Saturday night against North Queensland, all said to be in contention.
MORE TO COME.
