ST HELENS head coach Paul Wellens has revealed a devastating triple blow for the Merseyside club on the injury front.
“Jake Wingfield has gone in for another shoulder repair which will be a 16-week lay-off. It’s hugely disappointing for Jake but what I do know about him is he is a resilient lad,” Wellens said.
“He has had to because he has had huge setbacks already in his career. He is certainly up for the challenge of tackling this head on.”
Wellens also gave bad news on Matt Whitley and Morgan Knowles.
“Matt Whitley is another surgical case. He will be out for 12 weeks having had a shoulder operation. That’s another big blow.
“Morgan Knowles has today undergone groin surgery which has been an ongoing issue. That will be a five or six week lay-off for Morgan.”
