CITY Origin coach Brad Fittler has been forced to reshuffle his side ahead of Sunday's Country v City Origin clash in Coffs Harbour.

Injuries have decimated the team with five players ruled out of the original 17 man squad named.

The biggest loss to Fittler's side is Parramatta Fullback Jarryd Hayne who will miss the April 21 clash and is set to be replaced by boom Wests Tigers young gun James Tedesco pending a medical.

Yesterday's physical clash between Wests and St George at the SCG has taken its toll on the City team with Robbie Farah, Chris Lawrence and Aaron Woods all ruled out.

Joel Reddy, Curtis Sironen, Adam Cuthbertson and Nathan Peats have all been called into the City side which starts its preparation today in Sydney.
