The Parramatta Eels have been dealt a crushing setback, with three key players going down to injury in what shapes as a major early-season blow to the club’s campaign.
The triple hit has sent shockwaves through the Eels’ camp, with all three injuries occurring within a short period and placing immediate strain on squad depth and team balance. Coaching staff now face the difficult task of reshuffling the lineup as they await updated medical assessments.
While the club has not publicly confirmed return timelines, early indications suggest at least one of the injured players could face a significant stint on the sidelines, while the other two remain under close monitoring.
The injuries come at a time when Parramatta is pushing to rebuild momentum and climb back into finals contention. Losing multiple starters at once threatens to disrupt combinations, weaken defensive structures, and stretch the depth of several key positions.
Fans have taken to social media expressing concern, with many describing the situation as “brutal,” “terrible timing,” and “the last thing we needed.” Despite the frustration, supporters remain hopeful that the Eels can rally and that squad replacements can step up in the meantime.
The club is expected to provide further updates in the coming days as scans and evaluations are completed. For now, the Eels face the difficult reality of moving forward without three of their most important contributors.
