Parramatta Eels halfback Mitch Moses has confirmed that his ongoing foot issue is more serious than initially anticipated, with recovery taking longer than expected.
Moses, who previously fractured his foot, has been experiencing persistent soreness around a surgical screw inserted during the previous injury. Despite undergoing numerous scans, the discomfort has persisted, leading to a delayed return to play.
The Eels had hoped Moses would return by Round 1, but the latest update suggests he may be sidelined for an extended period. Moses expressed frustration over the slow healing process, noting that the area doesn’t receive much blood flow, which hinders recovery.
This setback is a significant blow to the Eels, who are already grappling with a challenging season. Moses’s absence leaves a void in the team’s leadership and playmaking abilities, further complicating their efforts on the field.
The Eels are closely monitoring Moses’s condition and will continue to assess his progress in the coming weeks. The team remains hopeful that he will return to action as soon as his health permits.
