Star fullback Tom Trbojevic is unable to put a definite date on his return from a troublesome hamstring injury.

Trbojevic was slated to make a comeback in round 17 after injuring his left hamstring for the third time in 18 months playing against Canberra in round six.

But the 23-year old has told News Corp Australia he could be at least three weeks away from taking the field and won’t risk returning before he is ready both physically and mentally.

“I couldn’t put a time frame on it, it might be three weeks, I couldn’t honestly say. We are going day by day at the moment,” the Kayo ambassador said.

“It’s been a bit slower than I have liked, I’m feeling better and hopefully I’m back in a few weeks. Obviously you have to tick some boxes in recovery and I thought I would be able to tick them quicker but that hasn’t been the case.”

Trbojevic had to watch on as the Sea Eagles’ season was all but ended by a 56-16 thrashing at the hands of South Sydney.

Trbojevic has again been forced to watch Manly fight for their season from the sidelines.
