Leeds Rhinos forward Morgan Gannon will miss five Super League games after being diagnosed with a syndesmosis injury to his ankle.

Gannon left the field in the defeat against St Helens last weekend with fears he had a fractured shin.

And while the diagnosis of serious ankle sprain or syndesmosis was marginally better news it will still mean a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

“We are probably looking at six or seven weeks,” said Rhinos head coach Brad Arthur. “It is a blow and a disappointment for the individual who was playing some good footie.

“But it is hard to go through your season and not get injuries and it presents opportunities for other guys so Cooper Jenkins will come back into the team and we will move things around.”

Gannon is hoping to return for the game at Leigh Leopards on 7 August which would give him eight more games in a Rhinos shirt before leaving for NZ Warriors at the end of the season.

Leeds Rhinos host Leigh Leopards on Friday.
