Leeds Rhinos injury list with two fresh additions since Warrington Wolves loss

Leeds Rhinos face Salford Red Devils tonight but four members of their first-team squad won’t be available through injury and we’ve assessed the injury status of those and the other carrying knocks in the squad.

Rhinos have picked up two new injuries since their narrow defeat at Warrington Wolves two weeks ago. Here’s who is ruled out for Leeds Rhinos and when they could be back on the field.

Leeds Rhinos injury list

Maika Sivo

Leeds’ star wing signing suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during Ash Handley’s testimonial game against Wigan on January 26 and won’t play a competitive match this year.

Andy Ackers

The first-choice hooker tore a hamstring against St Helens on March 14 and was expected to be sidelined for up to three months.

Brodie Croft

The stand-off limped out of Rhinos’ defeat at Warrington Wolves two weeks ago. A scan revealed hamstring damage which will keep him off the field for at least the rest of this month.

Cameron Smith

Rhinos’ loose-forward and co-captain underwent surgery on an ankle injury suffered against Salford on February 22. The recovery time of eight-10 weeks means he could be back towards the end of this month or early in May.

Ben Littlewood

The 20-year-old forward underwent surgery on a hamstring injury early in pre-season. He is still at least a month away from being available for selection.

Ned McCormack

The rookie centre hasn’t played since suffering hamstring damage in the act of scoring against Warrington last July. He has had an operation and could be sidelined for the entire season.

Max Simpson

The centre had hoped to be back on the field in March, for the first time since an anterior cruciate ligament tear in January, 2023, but sustained a separate hamstring injury in training. He could make his comeback this month.

Fergus McCormack

Like his elder brother, the teenage half-back has a hamstring injury. He is back in light training, but no return date has been given.

Ethan Clark-Wood

The Australian outside-back suffered an ankle syndesmosis late in the reserves’ win against St Helens on March 27. He is facing five-six weeks out of action.
