Xavier Savage will be out for two months due to an ankle injury, adding strain to the Raiders' roster amid a four-game losing streak.
Canberra's depth has suffered another blow with left winger Xavier Savage ruled out for eight weeks with an ankle injury.
After undergoing scans, the speedster was cleared of any fractures after his foot got stuck underneath centre Simi Sasagi against Newcastle last Sunday.
But the Raiders' 2024 top try scorer will still spend a lengthy stint on the sidelines, adding further strain to Canberra's roster, as Sasagi is already filling in for Matt Timoko (recovering from a foot injury) while Matty Nicholson (shoulder) is out for at least three months.
Jed Stuart has replaced Savage for their clash with South Sydney on Saturday in Perth.
