Matty Nicholson may have a serious ankle injury, potentially sidelining him until round 20. Scans pending.
The Canberra Raiders are fearful Matty Nicholson could have suffered a fracture and a syndesmosis injury to his left ankle, which could rule him out until round 20.
Nicholson suffered the injury in the dying minutes of their heart-breaking 32-20 loss to the Canterbury Bulldogs at Canberra Stadium on Saturday.
The England international, who has been a revelation since joining the Raiders in the off-season, will go for scans on Monday with more expected to be known that afternoon.
