South Sydney NRL star Sam Burgess has been cleared of any serious injuries to his neck or spine.
Burgess will continue to be monitored for any muscle issues, but is expected to be released from St Vincent’s Hospital on Monday or Tuesday.
The Englishman was taken from the field on a stretcher in the Rabbitohs’ 8-6 loss to St George Illawarra at the SCG on Sunday, but the club says MRI and CT scans show no damage to the vertebrae or spinal cord.
