Leeds Rhinos suffer fresh injury blow as David Fusitu'a sustains worrying blow

The first half didn't go to plan for Leeds Rhinos against Hull KR as they found themselves 14-0 down in horrendous conditions. But beyond that, they suffered a fresh injury blow to one of their regular starters.

David Fusitu'a was helped from the field after picking up an ankle injury in a nasty-looking collision with Ryan Hall. The Rhinos winger was attempting to make a tackle on the former Headingley favourite but the pair engaged in an awkward clash on legs.

The former NRL winger was in visible pain afterwards and after limping off the field, was eventually required to be assisted down the tunnel. It was confirmed he would not be able to return and once he did return to the dugout, he did so wearing a protective boot.
