Young hooker Nathaniel Roache has been ruled out of the Warriors' Round 24 NRL Telstra Premiership clash with South Sydney at ANZ Stadium on Friday.
The 21-year-old went down with a leg injury during the team's field session ahead of departing for Sydney this afternoon. The full extent of the injury is yet to be confirmed.
Roache was set to make his third appearance after returning from a hamstring injury he picked up against Manly in Perth on July 1.
Jazz Tevaga has now been named at hooker in the Warriors' provisional 21-man squad but Issac Luke, who is currently named on the bench, is a chance of taking the starting spot against his former club come game day.
