**Penrith Coach Ivan Cleary Makes ‘Downer’ Announcement Regarding Star Player Nathan Cleary**
In a disappointing turn of events for the Penrith Panthers, head coach Ivan Cleary has made a “downer” of an announcement concerning star halfback Nathan Cleary. The coach revealed that Nathan is set to miss a significant portion of the upcoming NRL season due to a lingering injury that has worsened during the off-season.
During a press conference, Ivan Cleary expressed his frustration and concern over the situation, describing it as a major setback for the team. “It’s a downer for everyone involved, especially Nathan. He’s been working hard to recover, but unfortunately, he’s not where he needs to be physically to start the season,” Ivan Cleary said.
Nathan Cleary, one of the most influential players in the Panthers’ recent dominance in the NRL, has been dealing with recurring injuries that now require extended rest and rehabilitation. The club’s medical staff are focusing on ensuring his full recovery, which means his return to the field could be delayed for several months.
This news comes as a significant blow to the Panthers’ plans, as Nathan Cleary has been a key figure in their successful campaigns over the past few years. Fans are left hoping for a swift recovery as the team looks to defend their premiership title without their star player for the early stages of the season.
Ivan Cleary concluded by saying, “We’ll support Nathan every step of the way, and we’re confident that once he’s back, he’ll be better than ever.”
