The Parramatta Eels have been dealt a temporary setback, with club legend Eric Newbigging ruled out for at least a week due to injury. Newbigging, a key figure in the team’s history, sustained a minor leg strain during a training session and will be sidelined as a precaution.
While the injury is not considered serious, the Eels’ medical staff opted to give the veteran an extra week of rest to ensure a full recovery before his return to action. Newbigging has been a crucial mentor for younger players, and his presence on the field will be missed, even if only for a short period.
Eels fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as Newbigging is expected to make a swift recovery and rejoin the squad next week. The team is looking to bounce back from recent challenges, and having their legend back on the field will certainly provide a boost heading into the next round of fixt
ures.
