Leigh Leopards head coach Adrian Lam has offered a recent injury update on Bailey Hodgson.
The full-back went down awkwardly within the latter phases of Thursday’s 54-0 defeat to native rivals Wigan Warriors, with Lam stating post-match that there have been fears of a PCL and even ACL injury after the participant left the sector in seen discomfort.
But Lam has now confirmed it’s the previous of the 2 that Bailey has suffered – and despite the fact that his prognosis is round eight weeks out injured, it’s higher information than an ACL blow that might have dominated him out for the remainder of the 2026 season.
“There’s some positive news which we’re very grateful for and whilst it’s still long-term, it’s not as bad as first thought,” Lam stated on Hodgson.
“He’s got a grade two tear on his PCL so that will be up to eight weeks out, plus, so we’re looking at two months for that. He’s in good spirits, he’s in a good place, and he’s out working as we speak and ripping in.”
Hodgson had been enjoying full-back within the absence of David Armstrong, who ruptured his ACL final season and continues to be recovering after a setback earlier this 12 months. However, the Australian is nearing a comeback, with Lam suggesting the speedster may return to motion inside the subsequent 4 weeks.
Leigh host Catalans Dragons on Friday evening, trying to get again to profitable methods after away defeats at St Helens and Wigan. They defeated Leeds Rhinos within the opening spherical.
