The Melbourne Storm are currently investigating an incident with a player who was found on a doorstep of a Richmond home, as first reported by The Herald Sun.

It is understood that the ambulance was called after the player was discovered on Monday morning in the Melbourne suburb.

The player reportedly did not play in Saturday night's preliminary final loss to the Sydney Roosters.

The Storm have since released a statement on the matter, revealing that the player was being treated in hospital for facial cuts.

“Melbourne Storm is aware that one of our NRL contracted players has been treated in hospital this morning for facial cuts and will undergo further medical tests today,” the statement read.

“We can confirm there is no on-going investigation by Victoria Police into the matter.

“The player, who was not part of our preliminary final squad on Saturday night, is expected to be able to return home today.

“He will continue to be supported by Storm medical and player well-being staff.”
