South Sydney has suffered a blow in the lead-up to Saturday night’s big Preliminary Final against the Roosters with veteran back-rower Jason Clark injuring his ankle at training today.

Clark rolled the ankle during a standard drill and is in doubt for the sudden-death match.

The injury is a double blow to Clark as Saturday night’s game could be his final match in Souths’ colours after a decade’s service to the club.

One of the most popular players in the Rabbitohs’ ranks, 29-year-old Clark is heading to England to finish his career with the Warrington club next season.

Souths are expected to give Clark until tomorrow to prove his fitness for the grand final qualifier at Allianz Stadium.

The Roosters are already below strength for the game with strike weapon Latrell Mitchell and hard-hitting forward Dylan Napa out suspended.

The match is expected to be a sellout at Allianz Stadium on Saturday night.
