Maika Sivo's season is officially over after the Parramatta Eels confirmed the star winger ruptured his ACL against the Cowboys at the weekend.<\/a><\/p>\n

In a huge blow for Eels' premiership hopes, Sivo will play no part in the upcoming finals series and will also likely miss the start of season 2022 as he undergoes a lengthy rehabilitation period after surgery.<\/p>\n

The Fijian had to be helped from the field in the 25th minute after twisting his right leg in an awkward tackle while starting a set deep in Parramatta territory.<\/p>\n

Coach Brad Arthur initially feared an MCL injury, but it has since been revealed that Sivo also injured his ACL in the incident.<\/p>\n

"I think they've said MCL," Eels coach Brad Arthur told reporters at his post-match press conference.<\/p>\n

"Obviously, he'll need scans in the morning but we're pushing it to get him back this year, I reckon.<\/p>\n

"Fergo (Blake Ferguson) is back this week, so Fergo will come back onto the wing."<\/p>\n

Sivo crumpled on the turf of Cbus Stadium and lay motionless for some time as he was attended to by medics after the incident.<\/p>\n

He was whisked off the park and played no further part in the match. Later, he was spotted by cameras on the sidelines in crutches.<\/p>\n
