York Knights have suffered another injury blow with veteran winger Ben Jones-Bishop sidelined for the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

Jones-Bishop, 37, has broken his foot and will be out for the foreseeable. He has scored four tries in eight games this campaign, and his experience is proving pivotal in the Knights back line.<\/p>\n

In a revelation that could have potentially furthered that damage, the Jamaican international played through the pain, and had suffered the break prior to the club\u2019s defeat to Wakefield Trinity.<\/p>\n

Knights head coach Mark Applegarth confirmed the news in his weekly press conference as the club prepare to face Hull KR in the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cBish will be a no-go [to play this week]. Bish has got a broken foot.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026I\u2019m gutted for Bish personally,\u00a0because I know how hard he\u2019s attacked this year so far\u00a0and how much it means to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also a testament to how tough he is.\u00a0To score that try he scored against Wakefield when he had his broken foot then\u00a0and he leapt in the air to get that,\u00a0it tells you exactly how tough that man is there.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an unfortunate injury.\u00a0It\u2019s part and parcel of our sport,\u00a0we all know that.\u00a0We play a really tough sport\u00a0and collision injuries will happen\u00a0and Bish is old enough to understand that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commenting on other players in the squad, the boss confirmed: \u201cDanny [Richardson]\u2019s not going to be far off if he\u2019s honest with you.<\/p>\n

\u201cWoody [Sam Wood]\u2019s just got to be very smart with his finger.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a compound dislocation and if you come back a little bit too early from that,\u00a0then it compiles and dislocates again and you\u2019re back at square one.\u00a0Woody\u2019s keen to play. He\u2019s a big part of what we do this year\u00a0and we\u2019ve just got to be smart about when we do get him back playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

York Knights boss provides update on forgotten ex-Wigan Warriors man<\/p>\n

One man who hasn\u2019t featured for the club, or for Newcastle Thunder, this year is former Wigan prop Mitch Clark.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old picked up an Achilles injury in pre-season, and is still recovering from that.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s had a couple of setbacks. We\u2019ve had to get some injections into it just to settle it down. Now that we\u2019re finally on top of it, Mitch is running,\u201d Applegarth said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t give you a timeline on when he\u2019s back,\u00a0but he\u2019s definitely making progress in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n
