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.

The 21-year-old Yorkshireman has made a spot on the Raiders' right edge his own, registering five tries in nine games.
But Nicholson is now staring at a prolonged absence from the NRL after sustaining an ankle injury and fracture to his fibula in last weekend's loss to Canterbury.
