Penrith Panthers coach Ivan Cleary says there is a chance Nathan plays despite an injury that could involve a fractured foot. The updates come ahead of the next stage of the Panthers’ schedule, with Cleary assessing Nathan’s condition and readiness.

All outlets report Cleary’s stance that the injury is significant enough to be described as a possible fracture, but also that Nathan may still feature depending on how he responds to treatment and further checks. The coverage focuses on the medical outlook rather than any return timeline, with no outlet providing additional details such as imaging results or confirmed dates for return.

While the wording differs slightly across reports, they align on the core point: Cleary indicates Nathan is not ruled out and that his involvement remains contingent on the injury assessment, including the possibility of a fractured foot.
