The Newcastle Knights have received a welcome boost ahead of their crucial upcoming matches, with several key players set to return from injury.
– _Kalyn Ponga_: The star fullback has been cleared to play after recovering from a minor hamstring strain sustained in the Knights’ last outing.
– _David Klemmer_: The prop forward is expected to return from a shoulder injury that has kept him sidelined for the past two weeks.
– _Edrick Lee_: The winger has been cleared to play after recovering from a knee injury sustained in the Knights’ round 10 match.
However, the Knights will be without:
– _Mitch Barnett_: The second-rower will miss another 2-3 weeks with a fractured eye socket.
– _Simi Sasagi_: The young prop forward will miss another 4-6 weeks with a shoulder injury.
Knights coach Adam O’Brien expressed relief at the return of his key players, saying, “It’s great to have these guys back on the field. They’re all important players for us, and their return will give us a big lift ahead of some crucial matches.”
The Knights take on the Canterbury Bulldogs this weekend, and the return of Ponga, Klemmer, and Lee will be a welcome boost as they look to climb the NRL ladder.
