Wigan captain ruled out of Origin

test

Wigan Warriors captain Sean O’Loughlin will miss this Friday’s International Origin match due to injury.

O’Loughlin, 30, is still suffering from the knee injury that kept him out of Wigan’s recent victory over Widnes Vikings.

“Sean has withdrawn from the squad because his recovery has been slower than expected,” said England Rugby League’s chief medical officer, Chris Brookes.

England coach Steve McNamara has decided against calling up a replacement for the loose forward.
