Nanai fails to train with Maroons due to calf 'niggle'

The Maroons hope the second-rower can join the side for a full training session on Saturday and be available for game two of the State of Origin series in Melbourne on Wednesday night.

The Maroons had an opposed session against Queensland Cup side Easts Tigers at Sanctuary Cove on Thursday where Nanai was doing running on his own behind the goal posts.

He had a compression bandage on his right calf.

The 21-year-old has been an integral member of the Maroons squad since making his Origin debut in 2022.

Nanai missed game one of last year's series due to suspension but he returned in game two at Suncorp Stadium and had a blinder in a 32-6 win to help the side wrap up the series.
