Inglis, Sutton cleared of major injury

Rabbitohs pair John Sutton and Greg Inglis are expected to line up for Friday's grudge match against Canterbury despite picking up minor injuries last week

South Sydney pair John Sutton and Greg Inglis have been cleared of any major injuries and will be expected to line up for Friday's grudge match against Canterbury.

Sutton came off midway through the first half against North after complaining of a glute pain, while Inglis failed to finish the match having looked to sustain a jaw issue.

However the medical staff said both injuries were minor and the key duo would be available for selection this week.

"We initially felt there maybe a small glute tear there (for Sutton)," Rabbitohs high performance manager Troy Thompson said.

"We got him off and the physios did a bit of work on him and got him up to a point where we could've used him if we had to at the back end of the game, but fortunately with the way the game panned out, we didn't have to put him back on there."

Inglis was substituted late in the second half but wouldn't have been able to return to action due to the NRL's concussion protocol.

"Time expired before the doc was able to get through the SCAT3. But again, he's been through the initial stages to play protocol and he'll be fine to go on the weekend," Thompson said.
