Two sides hit hard with injuries will have their depth put to the test when they clash at CommBank Stadium on Friday night.

The Broncos face life without Adam Reynolds for the next few months after the skipper went down with a biceps injury against the Roosters on Friday while winger Jesse Arthars is also set for a stint on the sideline after suffering a broken jaw.

With understudy halfback Jock Madden also sidleined, how the Broncos handle the coming weeks could have a big impact on the rest of their season.

Coming off a bye, the Eels will be hoping a week's reset will help get their season back on track after losing four of their past five matches.

The Eels have plenty of injury concerns of their own with fullback Clint Gutherson (knee) joining halfback Mitch Moses (foot) on the sidelines as Brad Arthur looks to the next generation to keep Parramatta's season alive.
