Queensland forward Jai Arrow has been admitted to hospital to treat an infection, with the Maroons remaining confident the Rabbitohs star will return to training in the coming days.
QRL.com.au released a statement on Tuesday revealing that Arrow is requiring medical assistance with the setback.
No Jai Arrow at @QLDmaroons training. He’s in hospital being treated for an infection. All I know is it’s in his upper body. He’d been on oral antibiotics prior to admission. He should be ok to train Thurs.
