Luckless fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen is likely to miss Melbourne's NRL clash with Canberra on Saturday night due to another injury.

Papenhuyzen missed the Storm's captain run at AAMI Park on Friday after a heel issue kept him sidelined through the week, while skipper Harry Grant was a spectator after playing State of Origin.

Papenhuyzen was only one game back having missed five NRL matches with a right ankle fracture.
