Wakefield winger Ben Jones-Bishop will miss the start of the 2020 Super League season after being diagnosed with an undisclosed medical condition.

The 31-year-old has been an integral part of the Trinity squad since joining in 2016 from Salford but was prevented from taking part in training during the early stages of pre-season due to the issue.

Salford and Hull FC kick off their warm-up games this weekend, plus a round-up of what is being said elsewhere.

Wakefield head physio Ryan Carmody told the club's official website: "Earlier on in pre-season we received the news that Bish had been diagnosed with a medical condition.

"Unfortunately it's stopped him taking part in any sort of training and means he's set for a fairly lengthy spell on the sidelines.

"He's currently under investigation with the medical team and we hope to see Bish back in the Red, White and Blue during the summer."
