Gallen sidelined for four to six weeks

Scans have revealed Cronulla veteran Paul Gallen has suffered a grade two medial ligament tear and will be sidelined for four to six weeks.

Cronulla warhorse Paul Gallen will miss up to six weeks of NRL action after scans revealed he has suffered a grade two medial ligament tear.

Gallen's knee problem is the worst of the Sharks' injury concerns, with fellow forwards Andrew Fifita, Luke Lewis and Wade Graham also limping off in Friday night's 40-20 loss to St George Illawarra.

Fifita has been cleared of a serious knee injury but, along with Lewis (knee) and Graham (hamstring), remains in doubt for Friday night's hosting of Penrith.
