Wallabies' Lolesio faces long rehab after surgery
The playmaker suffered the injury during Australia's 21-18 defeat of Fiji in Newcastle on Sunday and had to be stretchered from the field.
Rugby Australia said he was initially discharged from hospital on Sunday evening, but was readmitted for an operation following a further medical follow-up.
The Sydney Morning Herald said he had a spinal fusion procedure.
Lolesio is expected to make a full recovery and will spend "a period of time away from the game during his rehabilitation".
