The Newcastle Knights are set to add a second player to their season-ending injury list, with Dylan Lucas suffering a lisfranc injury.
The injury was sustained on Saturday afternoon as the Knights came up short again against the Melbourne Storm, adding to their woes in what has been a horrific season for Adam O'Brien's side.
Star fullback Kalyn Ponga is also out with a foot injury for the remainder of the season, and now Lucas will join him on the sidelines.

Walker, in his first game back at NRL level for almost a year after an ACL injury was followed up by a broken thumb, was sin-binned shortly before halftime for what looked to be a classic cannonball tackle on Dragons' prop David Klemmer.
Roosters head coach Trent Robinson said the sin bin was a 'heavy price' to pay.
