Melbourne Storm today announced vice-captain, Cameron Munster, will miss between eight to ten weeks as he continues to manage a groin complaint.
Storm Director of Football, Frank Ponissi, said scans today cleared the five-eighth of the need to have surgery.
“Cameron had scans earlier today which showed a tear in the adductor tendon,” Ponissi said.
“Our club doctor sought independent medical advice and we decided to take the conservative approach through treatment and rehabilitation without the need for surgery.”
“While it is obviously disappointing for both Cameron and the club to be missing football at this stage of the season, we are confident this approach will give him the best chance of recovery in the long term.”
