Bradford Bulls have learnt Danny Addy faces two months on the sidelines with a fractured thumb.
The half-back/loose forward suffered the injury during Sunday’s 24-22 win over Harlequins after coming on as a late replacement for hooker Heath L’Estrange.
The 20-year-old, who has made three appearances for Bulls this season, will have surgery on Tuesday.
Unfortunate
Bradford’s Stuart Duffy said: “It’s very unfortunate that Danny has suffered this setback.
“He has been playing well this season and his injury is a further blow to the squad.
“However, we are lucky that we have other players that can cover his positions.”
Bulls next take on Hull at the KC Stadium in one of four Engage Super League matches on Friday.
