After seeing a specialist on Monday morning, the Sydney Roosters can confirm that Siosiua Taukeiaho has sustained damage to the cartilage in his left knee.

Taukeiaho was a late withdrawal from the Roosters Round 6 match against the South Sydney Rabbitohs after injuring his knee during a contact drill in the pre-game warm-up.

The injury does not require surgery and it is expected that Taukeiaho will be sidelined for up to two weeks while he undertakes a rehabilitation program.
