Queensland and Wallabies flyer Jordan Petaia is set to miss the rest of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season after sustaining a shoulder injury last week.

Reds coach Les Kiss says that Petaia's season was likely over after he reeled away from an attempted tackle on Timoci Tavatavanawai during Friday's clash with the Highlanders.

Petaia left the field in the 32nd minute and took no further part in the 31-0 win with Hunter Paisami and Tim Ryan covering the outside centre role.

Kiss will be sweating on the fitness of specialist outside centre Josh Flook ahead of a massive Anzac Weekend battle against the Blues.

Should Flook be ruled out, Paisami could don the number 13 jersey with Lawson Creighton and Taj Annan vying for a start at #12.

Veteran playmaker James O'Connor is another who could come into consideration at inside centre as he nears a return from his lengthy injury layover.

The Reds play the Blues at 9.35pm Saturday.

In other games, the Crusaders meet the Rebels at 7.05pm Friday, the Waratahs play the Chiefs at 9.35pm Friday, the Drua host Moana Pasifika at 2.05pm Saturday, the Brumbies face the Hurricanes at 4.35pm Saturday, the Highlanders meet the Force at 7.05pm Saturday.
