Canberra and New Zealand winger Jordan Rapana is expected to be fit to resume pre-season training with the Raiders in January after fracturing his cheekbone in the Kiwis' Four Nations final loss to Australia.
Rapana will avoid surgery but is yet leave the UK, with his progress to be monitored before he can return home.
Despite New Zealand falling short in the final, the tackle-busting winger enjoyed a successful tournament, scoring three tries.
