Leeds Rhinos' squad named for Warrington Wolves clash: Two ruled out, but three back in contention

The second-rower will undergo a scan and Agar said: “We’ve got our fingers crossed it is a medial injury - and a lower grade one - rather than any damage to his cruciate.

“I am gutted for him - he is a good kid for us, he has been really consistent and we’ve said for many weeks we want a bit of luck and some continuity in our lineup.

“We will find a way though, there’s an opportunity for some other guys in our squad.”

Stand-off Callum McLelland also drops out of the side for Sunday's home game against Warrington Wolves.

Agar said he showed signs of concussion yesterday morning and has been stood down for a week.

Liam Sutcliffe will return after missing the match at Hull because of concussion, Bodene Thompson is available following a three-game ban and fellow forward Morgan Gannon also comes into the initial 21.
