South Sydney forward Keaon Koloamatangi says their side need superstar Latrell Mitchell back as soon as possible after the fullback's return from injury was put back a week following a positive COVID-19 test.
Mitchell last played for the Rabbitohs in round five before a hamstring injury sidelined the 24-year-old for eight weeks.
He also underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee after tweaking it in round four, and in a double-stack attempt while on the sidelines, had some cartilage shaved off, which brought a projected six-to-eight week recovery time.
