Hull KR reveal true cost of Challenge Cup defeat in concerning injury update

Abdull, who played in England's last game against France at the end of 2021, suffered a quad tear and will visit a specialist to determine the severity of the injury.

Minchella, meanwhile, sustained ankle ligament damage and is expected to be out of action for up to six weeks.

Rovers took a gamble on Kane Linnett's torn bicep at Elland Road but he left the field early in the game and, as originally expected, is facing a lay-off of up to 12 weeks following surgery.

An injury update on Hull KR's website read: "The Robins’ medical staff have confirmed Elliot Minchella sustained an ankle ligament injury late in the game and will miss four to six weeks.

"Leaving the field in a similar fashion, Jordan Abdull suffered a quad tear in the loss and is set to see a specialist to determine the severity of the injury."

KR will also be without Sam Wood when they travel to the Mend-A-Hose Jungle to face Castleford Tigers on Sunday.

The versatile centre is likely to be sidelined for two to four weeks after suffering a dislocated patella in the recent loss at Leeds Rhinos.
