Penrith Panthers fullback Dylan Edwards has been ruled out for 2 to 3 weeks after suffering a groin strain.
Edwards picked up the injury during the Panthers’ recent match against the Roosters. He managed to score a try early in the game but was clearly in discomfort and had to leave the field in the second half.
The club has confirmed it is a low-grade groin strain, and Edwards will now focus on recovery. His absence is a blow to the Panthers as they prepare for upcoming matches.
Coach Ivan Cleary is expected to name a replacement later this week, with Daine Laurie likely to step into the fullback role.
Fans will be hoping for a speedy recovery for Edwards, who has been a key player for the team.
