Canberra Raiders' Hudson Young is suspected to have ruptured his Achilles, impacting the team's finals and Australia's World Cup prospects.
Canberra Raiders star Hudson Young has suffered a suspected Achilles rupture in a devastating blow to both the club's finals hopes and Australia's World Cup plans.
Young went down during the second half of Canberra's clash with the South Sydney Rabbitohs at GIO Stadium after rushing off the defensive line, with the non-contact nature of the incident immediately raising fears of a serious injury.
The 28-year-old remained on the ground before leaving the field with the assistance of Raiders medical staff, unable to put any weight on his injured ankle.
Shortly afterwards, the Raiders confirmed Young had suffered a suspected Achilles rupture, with scans expected to determine the full extent of the damage.
