Westpac NSW Blues star centre Latrell Mitchell has this morning been ruled out of the 2023 Ampol State of Origin series-opener in Adelaide on Wednesday with a calf injury.

Mitchell sustained the injury at training and scans later revealed a strain which would prevent him playing.

Mitchell will be replaced by 18th man Stephen Crichton and did not travel with the team to Adelaide today.

Bulldogs centre Matt Burton will join the team in Adelaide later today as 18th man.
