CT Scan Shows No Fracture For Vatuvei

A CT scan today showed no sign of a leg fracture for Vodafone Warriors winger Manu Vatuvei.

The scan result follows an x-ray on Saturday night which also found no evidence a fracture after Vatuvei was replaced 44 minutes into the club's 24-12 Heritage Round victory over North Queensland at Mount Smart Stadium.

Vatuvei, who was returning from a lay-off with a hamstring injury, was troubled by a left leg injury after being caught in a multiple tackle 14 minutes into the match.

"Manu had a CT scan this afternoon which, like the x-ray we had done on Saturday night, showed no sign of a fracture," said Vodafone Warriors doctor John Mayhew.

"That means it's all good news so far but, if the leg doesn't settle down, we may need to look at having an MRI scan done later in the week."

Vatuvei missed several games in 2008 with a spiral fracture in his left fibula.
