Leeds Rhinos injury and squad updates

Overview

The Leeds Rhinos rugby league squad has experienced a period of significant personnel fluctuations due to injuries.

In mid-August, head coach Brad Arthur reported an injury-depleted pack ahead of a match against York Knights. Unavailable players included Danny Levi (neck), Keenan Palasia (foot), James McDonnell (pectoral muscle), Ben Littlewood (hamstring), and Jack Bird (concussion). To mitigate these shortages, the team prepared for the debut of new signing Matt Lodge.

By late August, the team received an injury boost prior to their match against St Helens. Jake Connor was expected to play despite calf tightness, and Jack Bird successfully completed concussion protocols. Danny Levi was initially set to return from a long-term neck injury as a substitute.

However, the squad has since faced major setbacks ahead of a clash with the Wigan Warriors. Danny Levi is now expected to miss the remainder of the season after experiencing “nerve sensation and tingling in his arm” during his brief return. While James McDonnell and Maika Sivo may be included in the upcoming 21-man squad, their availability is uncertain. Additionally, Keenan Palasia has been ruled out for the weekend due to a foot injury, though he is expected to return against Hull FC. Full-back Lachie Miller was also noted as a concern after being removed from play as a precaution following a black eye.
