NRL 2024: Latrell Mitchell gets good news on injured foot with surgeons ruling out season-ending surgery

The Rabbitohs have received some encouraging news with superstar fullback Latrell Mitchell told by a surgeon that he doesn’t require season-ending foot surgery for the injury that has ruled him out of the State of Origin decider.

It’s a huge relief for Souths with initial fears that their main man would miss the rest of the season with a foot injury that he suffered after 20 minutes in his side’s win over the Eels last Thursday night where he once again stole the show with a try and a couple of assists in the wet.

“Rabbitohs fullback Latrell Mitchell has been reviewed by a surgeon this morning and a decision has been made to manage his left mid-foot injury conservatively, meaning he will not require surgery,” a club statement read.

“Mitchell will get another scan and review in a fortnight’s time to ensure the injury is progressing.

“The Rabbitohs will provide further updates at the appropriate time.”

Mitchell’s form has helped Souths surge up the ladder to sit just two points outside the top eight after their horror start to the season – one win in their first 10 matches – cost coach Jason Demetriou his job.

There are now hopes that Mitchell will only miss a few weeks, with Jye Gray to replace him at fullback for Thursday’s showdown with the Dolphins.

reel.

“I know everyone’s heard what’s going on. It’s disappointing, I’m gutted that I can’t represent NSW, but also my precious South Sydney Rabbitohs for the next few weeks.

“NSW still has a job to do and history to create so I’m backing the Blues to get the job done.

“The boys that are coming in, congratulations, and I can’t wait to watch next Wednesday night and give it to some Queenslanders up at Suncorp.

“All my best to my brothers who bleed blue.”
