The Sydney Roosters will be without Daniel Tupou for an extended period of time after the winger suffered a torn pectoral muscle.
Tupo failed to finish the match against the Bulldogs with a suspected pec tear.
Scans over the weekend have since confirmed the extent of the injury, with Tupou expected to be sidelined for 10-12 weeks while he recovers.
The Roosters take on the Knights in Round 3 and a replacement for Tupou will be named tomorrow.
