Eels rocked by major blow after Moses injury revelation

Mitchell Moses is likely to miss more than two months of rugby league for the Eels after a foot injury was uncovered for the halfback.

Moses is believed to have suffered the injury against Manly on Sunday afternoon and could be out for eight to 10 weeks, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. 

Parramatta have sent Moses for scans with fears it could be a broken foot.

The halfback is likely to require surgery with the Eels now set to be forced into a reshuffle with their spine.

Daejarn Asi came into the side last year and played 10 matches and is likely to be part of coach Brad Arthur's plans.

Asi played fullback for the Eels in NSW Cup last weekend while rookie Ethan Sanders was halfback and dropped hooker Brendan Hands played five-eighth. 

Bryce Cartwright could also shift into the No.6 jersey with Dylan Brown at halfback. 

The Eels play Wests Tigers next Monday afternoon at CommBank Stadium.

The blow comes only an hour after it was revealed Panthers halfback Nathan Cleary will be out for a month following a hamstring concern.

Both injury revelations present concerns for NSW Blues coach Michael Maguire with game one on June 5.
