BRISBANE ruckman Matthew Leuenberger could be sidelined for up to three months after suffering a knee injury in the Lions' 33-point win over Sydney at the Gabba on Saturday night.
Leuenberger, who injured his left knee at the three-minute mark of the first term returned to play out the match but will still undergo scans on Monday to determine the extent of the injury.
Brisbane coach Michael Voss said there was a chance the 20-year-old could require surgery.
"The best-case scenario is he's just pinched it," Voss said.
"I guess the worst-case scenario is that he's torn it badly and they'll have to repair it, so it might be three months."
"We're sort of hoping that it only just needs a little clean-up which will be about four weeks."
