Parramatta's plunging season has been thrown further into disarray, with news five eighth Feleti Mateo will miss Friday’s match against Manly with a knee injury.
MRI scans today confirmed a minor medial ligament sprain in Mateo's right knee, suffered during the second half of the Eels 32-20 loss to South Sydney at ANZ Stadium on Saturday.
The Tongan-born pivot will undergo treatment with a view to returning either against North Queensland on Friday week or the following week’s clash with Newcastle.
