Nielsen will miss NZ series

Another blow for the Boomers in their qualifying campaign against New Zealand in August - Matt Nielsen is expected to be prescribed rest or surgery due to a recent injury.

Nielsen suffered an undiagnosed problem with his Achilles, coupled with a hamstring strain while playing with club side Lietuvos Rytas in Lithuania.

He will fly to Australia over the weekend and see a doctor in Perth on Tuesday.

They still have Andersen, Anstey, Kickert, etc. While it's a big blow, they have the depth to cover it. There shouldn't be the need for Mac to play the 4.
