Super Rugby champions the Queensland Reds have been hit with more bad news.

Goal kicking playmakers Ben Lucas and Mike Harris are both heading home early with hamstring injuries.

After suffering their first defeat this season, the Reds are also awaiting the fate of their star backliner Digby Ioane who might receive a ban after being cited for a dangerous tackle against the Sharks flanker.

Coach Ewen McKenzie now faces some tough selection decisions for their next match which will be against the Bulls this Sunday at 3.05am.
