The Cronulla Sharks<\/a>' injury toll has gone from bad to worse, with centre Jesse Ramien<\/a> facing a stint of up to six weeks on the sidelines with a facial fracture. <\/p>\n

Ramien suffered the injury in the 26th minute of the Sharks' 0-48 defeat at the hands of the Penrith Panthers<\/a> on Friday, with the club confirming that the 24-year-old sustained a fractured eye-socket. <\/p>\n

The absence of Ramien is likely to open the door for out of favour veteran Josh Dugan to return to the Sharks line-up, with Will Chambers preferred in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

With Cronulla stuttering to a 2-7 start to the season, the team can ill-afford to lose the 24-year-old who joins a host of stars on the mend.<\/p>\n

Ramien will join Braden Hamlin-Uele (syndesmosis\/ankle), Ronaldo Mulitalo (knee), Sione Katoa (knee) and Royce Hunt (knee) on the club's long-term injury list.<\/p>\n

While Ramien's absence is a major blow, the Sharks will be boosted by the return of veteran Andrew Fifita in Round Ten after he served a four-match suspension.<\/p>\n

Fifita is one of two Sharks players to be hit with four-match bans, with Siosifa Talakai still having two weeks remaining on his own ban.<\/p>\n

The task for the Sharks becomes no easier in the NRL's Magic Round when they face the fourth-placed South Sydney Rabbitohs at 5:30 pm AEST on Saturday.<\/p>\n
