The Melbourne Storm will be sweating on the availability of star halfback Jahrome Hughes over the coming days after he suffered a significant injury on Thursday night.

Taking on the Sydney Roosters, the Storm halfback left the field minutes into the second-half clutching his shoulder.

Fox League's Jake Duke went on to confirm that the club confirmed Hughes had suffered a dislocated shoulder and has since been taken to the hospital.

"They can't get that shoulder back into place, so they're calling an ambulance and he'll be taken to hospital," Duke said.

According to NRL Physio, he is set to miss between three and six weeks for minimal damage but this could be increased to more than three months if there is significant damage.

It is understood that the initial prognosis is that the halfback will face a six-week recovery, per The Daily Telegraph.

The Sydney Morning Herald revealed Hughes was discharged from hospital late Thursday night and rejoined his teammates at the hotel.

Fears of any major breaks have been avoided following initial assessments, however further scans will get the Storm a better idea.

Storm head coach Craig Bellamy admitted in the post match press conference that although the club is awaiting scan results, the fact that medics couldn't get the shoulder back into place is "not overly good news."

"The longer [the shoulder is out of place], the more it stretches the ligaments and muscles around the joint," Bellamy admitted.

One of the game's best players, who saw him win the Dally M Medal last year, it is a massive blow as the Storm enter the backend of the season and prepare for the upcoming 2025 NRL Finals series.

Jonah Pezet is likely to be used as coverage in the coming weeks, while the club have yet to provide an update on when five-eighth Cameron Munster will return to training due to personal reasons.
