Catalans Dragons prop Luke Burgess may miss the remaining six months of the Super League season after suffering a knee injury in Friday's win at Leigh.

The 30-year-old will have scans to confirm if he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

Burgess, who won a Super League with Leeds, was part of South Sydney's 2014 NRL title-winning side with brothers Sam, Tom and George.

Dragons have also lost Jason Baitieri for up to 12 weeks with a broken wrist.

Loose forward Baitieri is to undergo surgery in the coming week.
