New Zealand centre Steve Matai is set to miss the vital Four Nations game with England after being diagnosed with internal bleeding in his left eye.

The Manly player was injured while tackling France's Andrew Bentley in the Kiwis' 62-12 win on Saturday.

He had tests in hospital to see whether he had fractured his eye socket and will be checked out further in England.

Parramatta's Krisnan Inu is his likely replacement for Saturday's match, with the winner set for a final berth.
