曼利海鹰队决定让核心球员Tom Trbojevic缺席周六对阵墨尔本风暴队的比赛[1]。医疗人员、特博耶维奇本人与主教练基兰·福兰在周一下午共同做出这一决定[1]。球队的谨慎态度源于对长途飞行可能加重其腿筋伤势的担忧[1]。
特博耶维奇在上月对黄金海岸泰坦队的比赛中受伤，虽然已在训练中恢复跑动，但其伤病史令人担忧[1]。过去8个赛季中，他共遭遇9次腿筋伤[1]。福兰表示："我们会再保留'Turbo'一周，旅行在一定程度上与此有关"[1]。
此外，后卫本·特博耶维奇因脑震荡也将缺席对风暴队的比赛[1]。球队获得积极消息，科里·瓦德尔和布兰登·韦克汉姆将复出参赛[1]。
Manly Sea Eagles have opted to rest star player Tom Trbojevic for Saturday's must-win clash against Melbourne Storm, with the club's medical team concerned that long travel could aggravate his hamstring injury [1]. Trbojevic sustained the injury in a match against Gold Coast Titans last month and, despite having resumed running during training, the decision to sideline him reflects caution regarding both his injury history and the demands of the fixture schedule [1].
The determination was made jointly by medical staff, Trbojevic himself, and head coach Kieran Foran on Monday afternoon [1]. Over the past eight seasons, Trbojevic has suffered nine separate hamstring injuries, making his management particularly sensitive to reinjury risk [1]. A five-hour return flight and a subsequent match against Dolphins six days later factored heavily into the cautious approach [1]. Foran stated: "We'll keep 'Turbo' out for another week, and travel played a part in that" [1].
The Sea Eagles will also be without Ben Trbojevic due to concussion [1], though Corey Waddell and Brandon Wakeham are set to return to action [1].
