ST HELENS could be without forward Jake Wingfield for the rest of the season.
The 24-year-old left the field early in the second half of Saints’ 34-4 win over Wakefield Trinity last Friday.
Head coach Paul Wellens has confirmed that Wingfield will be going for a syndesmosis (ankle ligaments) operation injury in the next few days.
Wingfield has registered 17 appearances for Saints during the 2025 Super League campaign, featuring in a number of positions in the pack.
On the injury, Wellens said: “Jake has unfortunately done his syndesmosis and will require surgery on that. It is usually a seven-to-nine-week return to play, which makes things very tight.
“That is not to say that all being well he couldn’t feature come play-off time, but there is a fair bit of work to do between now and then.
“We will put an arm around him and help him get back fit as soon as possible.”
