The Brisbane Broncos have been dealt another serious blow, with Anthony Milford sidelined with injury.
Milford left the pitch early on in Brisbane's defeat to the Knights on the weekend after picking up a knee injury.
In a press release issued by the Broncos on Monday afternoon, the club confirmed the injury.
"A huge blow for our side with Anthony Milford sustaining left-lateral knee injury and came off the ground early V Knights," it said.

"The early diagnosis is a lateral meniscus, the severity of the injury is not yet fully known."
Brisbane didn't say how bad the injury was, or for how long Milford is expected to be sidelined.
According to the game's resident injury expert, The NRL Physio, Milford could miss as little as one week, or but could be sidelined for several months.
"Anthony Milford suffered a lateral meniscus tear," NRL Physio said on Twitter.
"Is possible to return in 1-2wks if minor/no surgery req'd.
"But common for lateral meniscus tears to req surgery, generally more troublesome/have longer healing times.
"Meniscesctomy/trim (4-6wks) more common than repair (3-4 months)."
In addition to Milford, the Broncos have lost Richie Kennar, who picked up a shoulder injury against the Knights.
The club said Kennar may need surgery, but is already planning on him missing the rest of the season.
With just five wins to their name, it's been a tough season for the Broncos, who sit in 14th spot on the ladder.
This weekend Anthony Seibold's side will travel to Sydney to take on the Sharks, who went down to the last-placed Bulldogs on the weekend.
