Latrell Mitchell could return for South Sydney Rabbitohs this weekend

South Sydney Rabbitohs coach Wayne Bennett has indicated that Latrell Mitchell may return to action this weekend against the New Zealand Warriors. Mitchell has been sidelined since round nine due to a nerve issue in his lower back that affects his leg and calf.

While Mitchell's availability depends on upcoming training sessions, Bennett suggested the player might be eased into the game from the bench rather than starting. The Rabbitohs are currently fighting to secure a spot in the finals, needing at least one win from their remaining three matches.
