Sydney Roosters fullback Michael Gordon is facing a stint on the sidelines after he was forced from the field with a pec injury in last night's 14-12 win over the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Losing Gordon for any period of time would be a major blow to high-flying Roosters, with the fullback in outstanding form.
Gordon left the field with seven minutes remaining in the match and was reported to have his arm in a sling as he left the ground.

"I think he's hurt his pec but I don't think it's too bad, I'm hoping it's not too bad," Roosters coach Trent Robinson said after the game.
"He did it about five minutes before he came off which I think is a good sign but Mick also came off and Mick doesn't come off easily."
For Michael Gordon pec injury hope it's muscle and not tendon

Tendon: usually surgery and season over— NRL PHYSIO (@nrlphysio) July 7, 2017
Gordon will be sent for scans on the injury with a worst case scenario ruling him out for the rest of the season.
Youngster Connor Watson seems to be the likely replacement if Gordon is forced to have a stint on the sidelines.
