Canberra Raiders forward Matty Nicholson is facing a lengthy recovery after undergoing surgery for a syndesmosis injury and a fractured fibula.

Reports from zerotackle.com indicate that any hope for Nicholson's quick comeback has been dashed.

Scans revealed the severity of his injuries after he was taken off during Saturday's match against the Canterbury Bulldogs, where the Raiders suffered a significant collapse despite initially leading 20-0, ultimately losing 32-20 in the second half.

The Raiders announced on Tuesday that Nicholson is scheduled for surgery today, beginning what is anticipated to be a 12-week recovery period before he can return to the field.

On a positive note, the forward rotation will receive a boost with Jaimin Jolliffe returning from a two-game suspension.

Additionally, Kieran Foran is on track to make his comeback from a biceps rupture that he sustained during the pre-season trials.
