Huddersfield forward Jacob Fairbank is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after fracturing his ankle while on loan at Halifax.
The 25-year-old was injured in Halifax's victory over Hunslet on Easter Monday and Giants managing director Richard Thewlis said: "It's another bad blow for Bobby who remains one of our most popular squad members.
"He was only saying the other day how much he was enjoying regular week in, week out rugby after his first uninterrupted off-season for a long time and was keen to push his way into Paul Anderson's thinking.
"It's too early to put a time frame on his return with swelling making a precise diagnosis tricky, but it goes without saying that he knows he will get every possible help here medically to get him back out onto the paddock as soon as possible."
