Wigan boss Matt Peet has confirmed injuries to prop Ethan Havard and back-rowers Willie Isa and Kai Pearce-Paul.

Havard, 22, has a suspected dislocated elbow from Saturday's Challenge Cup sixth-round win over Leeds, and was withdrawn early in the first half.

Isa, 34. has injured his hamstring and missed the game, as did Pearce-Paul, 22, who has a leg injury.

"We're in one of those periods now where we are going to look to our academy and our pathway," Peet said.

While Havard requires a scan to assess the full extent of his injury, Peet is clearer on timescales for Isa - who will be out for "months", while Pearce-Paul is expected to be absent for about eight weeks.
