The Sydney Roosters squad have been assessed by Club medical staff following Saturday's match against Penrith Panthers.

Angus Crichton was ruled out of the match late due to a chest infection, though has since returned to full contact training. 

Matt Ikuvalu was taken from the field for a Head Injury Assessment (HIA) in the second half and was unable to return to the field.

He has been cleared of any serious injury and will undergo standard HIA protocol during the week.

Sitili Tupouniua was taken from the field in the final 10 minutes of the match and was unable to return to the field.

An MRI has confirmed that he sustained a medial ligament injury.

Tupouniua has commenced a rehabilitation program, though a timetable for return has not been determined.

The remainder of the squad made it through the match without injury concern and will be available for selection against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in Round 2.
