Vaughan set for some time on the sidelines

St George Illawarra front-rower Paul Vaughan will miss around a month of football after suffering a foot injury during the Dragons' loss to the Warriors on Saturday.

The Dragons' Head of Athletic Performance Nathan Pickworth spoke to the club's website about Vaughan's injury, and detailed the recovery time for the 27-year-old.

"Paul Vaughan suffered a syndemosis injury against the Warriors," Pickworth told dragons.com.au.

"The scans and follow up consolations with specialists has given us an estimated return to play around the four-week mark."

Vaughan has impressed all season long for the Red V, and made his Origin debut in Game 1 earlier this year, before playing in all three Origin matches.
