Harry Newman has a 'small chance' of returning from his latest long-term injury setback this Friday, Rohan Smith has revealed. Newman has been sidelined for several months after requiring hamstring surgery on an injury suffered in the early weeks of the new Super League season.
However, Smith has said the centre is in 'tremendous shape' as he continues his rehabilitation, and has not completely ruled out the prospect of Newman featuring in Friday night's trip to Warrington Wolves - though he did concede it was more likely he could return in the games immediately after that.
Leeds will train on Wednesday before making a final call on his fitness. "He's in tremendous shape but he's still got a few things to get through before he's eligible for selection - but he's not too far away," Smith said on Wednesday morning.
