Wellington - All Blacks lock Brodie Retallick, last year's World Rugby Player of the Year, has been sidelined for a month by a left shoulder injury, his Super Rugby side Chiefs said on Thursday.
The towering 23-year-old sustained an injury to his right shoulder joint in March but returned after five weeks out to play an integral role in the Chiefs' charge up the Super Rugby standings.
The Chiefs reported the new injury in the team announcement for Saturday's match at the Melbourne Rebels, where Retallick will be replaced by Michael Fitzgerald.
