Kirke: Sidelined
Ian Kirke is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after breaking his leg during Leeds Rhinos' shock 32-30 defeat to Catalans Dragons on Saturday.
The 28-year-old second rower, who missed more than six months of last season through injury, is set for another long lay-off according to his coach Brian McClennan.
"We are all disappointed for Kirkey," McClennan said. "The X-rays have confirmed there is a fracture there and he will now see the specialist early this week to decide the next course of action and whether there is a need for an operation."
The Rhinos will also be without England trio Danny McGuire, Jamie Peacock and Ryan Hall for Sunday's home game against Huddersfield after McClennan confirmed he would not be asking them to back up from Saturday's international in Paris.
"We had made provisions for them to be back in case injuries dictated that we were short on numbers in their positions, however we are in a good position," he said.
Second rower Jamie Jones-Buchanan and scrum-half Rob Burrow are both expected to return against the Giants after sitting out the game in Perpignan, meanwhile.
