WIGAN WARRIORS forward Ethan Havard has suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury and faces an extended period on the sidelines.
Havard, who recently signed a new contract with the Lancashire club, suffered a hamstring injury early in the Betfred Super League Round 18 tie against Wakefield Trinity, initially ruling him out for four to six weeks.
However, the 22-year-old has suffered a setback in training that required surgery.
Head coach Matt Peet said: “It’s sad news for Ethan and the team.
“He is a determined character and is already working hard on his rehabilitation.”
