Rhinos wait on Sinfield prognosis
Saturday, July 5th, 2008Rhinos wait on Sinfield prognosis
Leeds are desperately hoping the misery of their latest engage Super League defeat is not compounded by the loss of inspirational captain Kevin Sinfield for their Wembley bid.
The double-chasing Rhinos suffered a third defeat in four games after going down 23-22 in a heart-stopping epic at Wigan on Friday night, where Sinfield limped off with a suspected medial knee ligament strain deep into the second half.
Coach Brian McClennan said: “Kevin went to stand up and he could not put any weight on that leg. We suspect it is a medial strain in his knee and hopefully nothing more serious than that.”
