Canterbury-Bankstown is without around ten players for training after COVID-19 affects part of its NRL squad. Multiple outlets report that more than a quarter of the team is kept away from sessions on Monday, reducing the availability of players ahead of a key fixture.
The disruption comes just days before a season-defining match against Penrith. With the Bulldogs facing a must-win clash, the missed training time is expected to complicate selection and preparation as players remain unavailable under health-related protocols.
Across the reporting, the core details are consistent: the number of players missing training, the timing (Monday), and the opponent (Penrith) for a match described as crucial. None of the sources provide additional specifics such as the total number of confirmed cases, individual names, or the club’s broader response beyond the effect on training availability.
