Richie Myler to miss Super League opener with injury
- Published
Myler has played for Warrington since 2010 after joining from Salford
Warrington's Richie Myler is set to miss the start of the Super League season after dislocating an elbow in a Boxing Day friendly win over Widnes.
The 21-year-old former Widnes and Salford half-back left the field in obvious pain 29 minutes into the game.
"He's been training exceptionally well and was keyed up for a big start to the season," Wolves coach Tony Smith said.
"But he may just have to delay that a little bit - it's a blow for him." Super League XVII begins on 3 February.
Myler, who is a member of England coach Steve McNamara's elite training squad, may also be forced to pull out of Warrington's pre-season trip to Australia.
The team are due to fly out on Saturday week for a three-week training camp, culminating in a match against South Sydney on 28 January.
