Huddersfield Giants head coach Luke Robinson has confirmed that George Flanagan Jr and Matty English face lengthy spells on the sidelines.
Both were injured in last Sunday’s defeat by Hull KR, with full-back Flanagan injuring his ankle in scoring a try, while loose forward English’s knee was hurt in a loose tackle by forward Karl Lawton, for which he was subsequently banned.
“George will be out for the next few months,” Robinson told BBC Radio Leeds.
“Matt had a cannonball to his knee and there were fears that it was going to be his ACL, but he has been very fortunate as it’s his MCL (medial collateral ligament).
“He won’t be out as long as we originally feared, but it’ll still be the two to three-month timescale.”
