Latrell Mitchell faced a significant setback during Monday's training session with South Sydney. The player was attempting to recover from a back injury to ensure his availability for both his club and the NSW Origin team. However, Mitchell was unable to complete the main session, exiting the field by 9:25 am. This early departure serves as a blow to his prospects of representing New South Wales. His return to full fitness remains uncertain following the interrupted workout. The timing is critical as Origin selection windows approach. South Sydney continues to monitor his recovery process.
