Newcastle Knights hooker Danny Levi will miss six to eight weeks after undergoing surgery on his injured ankle.
The 23-year old went down during his side's win over the Roosters on Friday, and scans have since revealed damage to his deltoid ligament.
Knights head of physical performance Balin Cupples said further scans would determine a more accurate timeline on when he is expected to return.
โStill conforming a little bit more detail around it but itโs looking like a 6-8-week injury,โ Cupples said.
โHeโs done a fair job on his deltoid ligament with his ankle. Weโre getting a bit more detail and follow-up scans today and some other opinions and then we will work out a pathway, return to play.
โItโs tough for Danny. Heโs been playing really well. Weโll make sure we get him back ASAP.โ
