Shaun Johnsonโs knee injury isnโt as serious as initially feared following confirmation today that he has ruptured his posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and is expected to be out for six to eight weeks.
Initial diagnosis suggested the 26-year-old may have suffered season-ending damage to the anterior cruciate ligament during the Vodafone Warriorsโ 19th-round NRL encounter with Penrith on Friday night.
โThis is a much better outcome than we had expected,โ said Vodafone Warriors team doctor John Mayhew.
โWe had believed the injury was likely to be an ACL but scans have indicated this isnโt so and Shaun wonโt need surgical intervention to repair the injury.โ
