全卫米奇·肯尼（Mitch Kenny）在4月份因腓骨骨折和联合韧带损伤已在伤病名单中待了五个月，目前预计不会在NRL总决赛前复出。[1]这意味着潘瑞思队（Penrith Panthers）可能要到总决赛阶段才能重新获得这名关键球员的支援，对其赛季冲刺计划造成重大打击。[1]
与此同时，球队另一位防线球员迪伦·爱德华兹（Dylan Edwards）也面临伤病困扰。[1]爱德华兹在7月16日对布里斯班的比赛中加重了旧肩伤，复出需要达到至少90%的力量。[1]他在2024年底参加太平洋锦标赛后曾接受拉塔杰特手术（Latarjet procedure）治疗。[1]
在此期间，潘瑞思队在对堪培拉的比赛中以42:18大胜。[1]
Penrith Panthers face a significant setback to their title aspirations with key players sidelined by injury for extended periods. Hooker Mitch Kenny, who sustained a fibula fracture and syndesmotic ligament damage in April, has now spent five months on the injury list and is not expected to return before the NRL finals series [1]. The delay represents a considerable blow to the three-time premiership-winning squad as they push toward the season's climax.
Fullback Dylan Edwards adds to the Panthers' injury concerns following a setback to his shoulder during a match against Brisbane on July 16 [1]. Edwards requires his shoulder to reach at least 90 percent strength before returning to competition, having undergone Latarjet surgery following the Pacific Championship in late 2024 [1]. His availability for upcoming fixtures, including a clash against the Warriors, remains uncertain [1]. Second-rower Tom Trbojevic has also suffered a ninth hamstring injury across eight seasons [1], compounding the club's injury challenges amid Penrith's 42-18 victory over Canberra [1].
