Reserves game abandoned after injury to Leeds Rhinos player
Rhinos’ reserves game at Wigan Warriors on Friday was abandoned because of an injury to a Leeds player.
A Rhinos spokesman said forward Toby Warren was taken to hospital “as a precaution”, but was talking to teammates before he left the ground. The Yorkshire Evening Post understands he was allowed home later on Friday.
Warren received treatment on the pitch for around 20 minutes before an ambulance arrived. The referee agreed with both captains to call the match off 15 minutes into the second half with the score at 16-16.
The match was played at Robin Park Arena, which is next to DW Stadium where Rhinos beat Wigan 40-18 in a Betfred Super League clash later the same evening.
Warren, 19, is a member of Rhinos’ full-time squad, but has yet to make his senior debut. He joined Rhinos in the off-season from York City Knights.
