Bradford's victory over Catalans Dragons has come at a heavy cost as both Glenn Morrison and Jamie Langley picked up knee injuries.

Morrison will be out of action for up to three months out after he suffered damage to his post-cruciate ligament.

The second-rower was injured during the Bulls' 20-18 victory in Perpignan and it was originally feared he could miss the rest of the season.

However he should be back playing again in the summer, with the club likely to find out more when the Australian undergoes another scan to discover the full extent of the damage.

Langley lost

Like Morrison loose forward Langley was forced off in the game in France with a knee problem.

He will now undergo an arthroscopy on Friday and will also now have surgery to cure a groin problem that has troubled him at the start of the new campaign.

To make matters even worse for coach Steve McNamara, full-back Michael Platt will miss Sunday's home fixture against Warrington with a torn hamstring.

Simon Finnigan, who scored the match-winning try in the final minute to beat the Dragons, will be fit though after it was confirmed he had not broken his thumb.
