Leeds Rhinos injury list and potential return dates ahead of Salford Red Devils clash
Here’s the latest state of play as Rhinos prepare to face Salford Red Devils at Headingley on Friday.
David Fusitu’a
The winger suffered ankle ligament damage in the defeat at Hull KR on March 31. He was initially expected to be sidelined for around six-eight weeks, but has had surgery and is now set for a three-month stint on the casualty list.
Aidan Sezer
The half-back sustained damage to a quad muscle in the first-half of the defeat at Leigh Leopards two weeks ago and is expected to be missing for “a few weeks”.
Derrell Olpherts
The ex-Castleford winger suffered a calf injury against Hull KR at the end of March, but is back in training and could be available for next week’s game at Wigan Warriors.
Morgan Gannon
The 19-year-old forward has not played a first team game since failing a head injury assessment during Rhinos’ defeat by Hull FC on February 24, but made a comeback for the reserves three weeks ago and is in Friday’s initial squad.
Max Simpson
The teenager centre suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in pre-season training which is expected to rule him out of the entire 2023 campaign.
Players on loan:
Luke Hooley (Batley Bulldogs), Joe Gibbons (Keighley Cougars), Oli Field (York Knights).
