Shaun Johnson’s Injury A Blow to Warriors’ Hopes
The New Zealand Warriors have suffered a significant blow with the injury to star halfback Shaun Johnson. Johnson was forced to leave the field during the Warriors’ 38-18 loss to the Sydney Roosters on Sunday, with a suspected pectoral injury.
The Warriors were already struggling before Johnson’s injury, with four straight losses. The loss to the Roosters was their fourth consecutive defeat, and their eighth in the last nine games.
Johnson is one of the Warriors’ most important players, and his absence will be a big blow to their hopes of turning their season around. The Warriors are now facing a tough task to make the finals, and Johnson’s injury makes that task even more difficult.
Potential Return Timeline
The Warriors are still waiting for a definitive diagnosis on Johnson’s injury, but it is believed to be a pectoral strain. If that is the case, Johnson could be out for up to two months.
That would be a major blow for the Warriors, as Johnson is one of their most experienced and influential players. The Warriors will need to find a way to replace Johnson’s leadership and creativity if they want to have any chance of making a late run into the finals.
