Mikolaj Oledzki is 'touch and go' to be available for Leeds Rhinos' play-off semi-final with Wigan Warriors on Friday. Oledzki suffered a shoulder problem during the Rhinos' win against Catalans Dragons last Friday, immediately throwing into doubt his fitness for this week's trip to the DW Stadium.
Oledzki has been one of Leeds' standout players in 2022, and has been an ever-present for the Rhinos throughout the season. But the England international is now a major doubt to be fit for the semi-final against the Warriors, with a place in the Grand Final awaiting the winners.
"He's got an AC joint injury so he's probably touch and go," Rohan Smith said on Tuesday. "We'll wait and see how things settle in the next couple of days. We're just letting it settle and recover, I don't have a gut feeling on it. He's a tough kid and he'll want to play but we'll have to go through the process and assess closer to the time."

When asked if Oledzki was definitely going to be unavailable, Smith said: "No, he's not been ruled out."
Leeds are also sweating on the availability of half-back Aidan Sezer, who suffered a knee issue during the win in Perpignan last weekend. David Fusitu'a and Harry Newman could be available to return, but Smith did not sound overly optimistic.
He said: "They're a possibility only. Both of them are possible, but not probable."
Winger Ash Handley is also definitely ruled out of the trip across the Pennines to face the Warriors, but Leeds will fight the frivolous nature of Rhyse Martin's suspension at a hearing on Tuesday evening.
