Souths 確信して Johnston won't be out for long
South Sydney are 確信して Alex Johnston has 避けるd a serious shoulder 傷害, after the winger failed to finish his 復帰 match against Penrith.
Playing in his first match since 決裂ing his Achilles tendon last August, Johnston was 傷つける in the ninth minute on Thursday when he landed awkwardly while 得点する／非難する／２０ing a try.
The 30-year-old then appeared to 欠如（する） some 信用／信任 for the 残り／休憩（する） of the first half, and he did not return after halftime as Souths held on to 勝利，勝つ 28-18.
Rabbitohs 公式の／役人s believe Johnston has ドーム some 損失 to his left scapula, but are 希望に満ちた it is not serious ahead of next Friday's Sydney Roosters blockbuster.
"He's pretty good," Souths coach Wayne Bennett said.?
"We're not sure whether he'll 行方不明になる a game or a couple of games, but it's not on the too-serious 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）."
Johnston's fitness would come as a big 上げる for both the winger and South Sydney.
The Rabbitohs are already without centre Campbell Graham for around three more games, after he 苦しむd a calf 涙／ほころび in last week's loss to Cronulla.
Johnston is also off 契約 this year, with 交渉s yet to start.
Thursday's try got him to within 16 of equalling Ken Irvine's 記録，記録的な／記録する 示す of 212 career tries, with Bennett keen to see him break the 記録，記録的な／記録する in Bunnies' colours.
"He's been a lifelong player here and is の近くにing in on 存在 the 主要な try-scorer in the game," Bennett said this week.?
"The club would like to see him finish his career here.
"We'll talk to him ... We want him to stay, but they've got to want to stay 同様に and be happy with the 取引，協定."< /p>
Any Johnston absence could be somewhat 相殺する by Latrell Mitchell's return, with the superstar fullback 予定 to come 支援する from a hamstring 傷害.
When Mitchell and lock Cameron Murray went 負かす／撃墜する 負傷させるd within minutes of each other at training last month, critics had Souths going の近くに to the 木造の spoon.
But they finish the 開始 month of the NRL with a 3-1 記録，記録的な／記録する, 手渡すd the base to 競う for the 決勝戦 after 勝利，勝つs without their biggest-指名する players.
Bennett is 自信のない if he will be able to fit fill-in fullback Jye Gray into his first-choice 17 after impressing at fullback, but made （疑いを）晴らす what he wants from Mitchell in that position.
"We've won three out of four with a number of players 行方不明の. All Latrell has to do is come 支援する and do his 職業 for us," Bennett said.?
"We don't want him to doing anything more than that. He's a wonderful player, we all know what he brings.?
"But we need him to be in sync with the 残り／休憩（する） of us, working hard and 存在 part of the team. I am sure he will do all that. I have no more 期待 of him than that."
