Wigan Warriors centre Adam Keighran will be out for between eight to 10 weeks having picked up a knee injury in their Challenge Cup loss to Hull FC.

The 27-year-old pulled up early on during their cup defeat by Hull FC in the build-up to Wigan's opening try.

Despite this, Keighran completed the full 80 minutes, but will now be on the sidelines at least until mid-May.

"Adam we're pretty confident has done his MCL. We need a bit more feedback there but we expect it's going to be a few months," boss Matt Peet told BBC Radio Manchester.

Meanwhile, full-back Jai Field also looks set to be out having picked up a hamstring injury during their defeat at the weekend.

In a pre-match press conference, Peet said that the Field had not sustained a previous hamstring injury and the latest setback was to his other leg.

"Jai's had these sorts of injuries before and he'll have some more appointments before we're able to put a timeframe on it," Peet added.
