Junior Paulo is out for two months due to a knee injury; Mitchell Moses has a hamstring strain.
The Parramatta Eels have revealed a chronic knee injury will leave Junior Paulo sidelined for the next two months.
The prop has been playing through the pain for the last three rounds, but the club confirmed he has now undergone an arthroscopic procedure and will not be fit until Round 21.
One of Parramatta's most important players, the forward pack leader will now sit out as the Eels attempt to turn their sputtering season around, and it's anticipated he will miss games against the Newcastle Knights, Canterbury Bulldogs, Canberra Raiders, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Manly Sea Eagles and Sydney Roosters before being available to return after the club's final bye when they clash with the Penrith Panthers on July 23.
The club have also confirmed Mitchell Moses has suffered a low grade hamstring strain while in Origin camp which will be assessed when he returns to the Eels on Thursday, however, they have been unable to set a return timeline.
