05:25 am on 25 March 2014

The Melbourne Rebels winger Lachlan Mitchell will sit out the rest of the Super Rugby season after fracturing his knee.

Mitchell was playing his 50th match for the club - the first player to do so - in Melbourne's 32-8 loss to the Waratahs when he suffered the injury.

Two other Rebels squad members are expected to be sidelined until May.
