Wigan Warriors: Thomas Leuluai faces months on the sidelines following knee injury

The 36-year-old was forced to leave the field of play during the second half of the game against St Helens, and now faces a spell on the sidelines.

Head coach Matty Peet confirmed Leuluai had suffered a high grade MCL injury.

He said: “We’ve not had absolute clarity on it yet from the specialist but we are looking at a few months.

“The depth of everyone’s squad is going to be tested at the moment. We pride ourselves on our junior development, so we don’t expect standards to slip.”
