HULL KR head coach Willie Peters has given the latest on Mikey Lewis and James Batchelor following injury concerns.
Lewis limped off early during Rovers’ stellar 32-16 win over Hull FC with concerns that the playmaker could have been out for a while considering he failed to return.
However, Peters has given a positive update on Lewis.
“Mikey has had scans, there’s a minor issue there so he won’t play this week,” Peters said.
“It’s more of a muscle injury, he’s done a part of the groin where it’s not actually as bad as if he tore or strained a different part of it.
“It’s week to week and we need to see how he is. We need to finalise a team but Danny Richardson will certainly be in the mix.”
Peters also gave an update on James Batchelor who missed last week’s derby win over Hull FC.
“Batch is going to do his best to play this week in terms of fitness testing. We need to see where he is at.”
