Luckless Jack Walker has been dealt a cruel injury setback after being ruled out for eight weeks with a hamstring injury. The Leeds Rhinos fullback was forced from the field in the draw with Huddersfield Giants and scans have shown a grade two tear which will see him miss around two months of action.
It's a gutting blow for Walker, who had returned to form after missing almost two years of action with a serious foot injury. He had been an ever-present for the Rhinos this year and had gradually played his way back into form.
It's another setback for Leeds too, who are already without a string of key players, including fellow fullback Richie Myler. He is expected to be out for another two to three weeks, leaving the Rhinos without a recognised number one at a critical time of the season.
