Leeds could be without forward Jimmy Keinhorst for up to six weeks because of an eye injury picked up against St Helens last week.
Keinhorst suffered a suspected fracture to his eye socket in last Friday's 18-32 defeat at Headingley.
The 25-year-old missed Saturday's game against Catalans Dragons and will now learn the full extent of his injury on Monday, when he is due to see a specialist.
Six weeks out would mean the end of Keinhorst's season, although Leeds head coach Brian McDermott is hoping for a more positive prognosis.
"At the moment we are waiting to see how serious the fracture is," he said.
"The worst case scenario is that Jimmy is out for six weeks however we will know more on Monday if it could be less."
Keinhorst has made 15 appearances so far this year for the Rhinos who currently sit top of Super League.
