Green injury blow confirmed

Wigan’s injury woe has continued with the news that Blake Green faces up to three months out with an arm injury.

Green, 27, tore his bicep in the 18-14 win over Leeds at the Magic Weekend on Saturday, and is set to see a specialist this week.

Coach Shaun Wane said: “He’s torn his bicep. It’s a 2 to 3 month injury, though obviously we’ll have a better idea down the track. It’s a blow for Blake and for us, but we’ll deal with it.”

He joins an increasing list of unavailable players for Wane, who was missing the likes of captain Sean O’Loughlin, winger Josh Charnley and fellow England international Liam Farrell at the weekend.
