St Helens Dealt Significant Blow with Daryl Clark’s Suspected Foot Fracture
According to St Helens head coach Paul Wellens, the club will be without key player Daryl Clark for up to six weeks due to a suspected fractured foot. The incident occurred late in the match against Salford Red Devils last Thursday, with Clark not participating in the final minutes of the game that saw Moses Mbye score the winning one-pointer.
Photographs emerged on the fan site “Red Vee” on Monday, showing the hooker sporting a protective boot, raising concerns among the Saints’ supporters. Wellens has now confirmed that Clark’s injury is indeed a serious one, potentially sidelining him for a period of four to six weeks as he undergoes further assessment and x-rays.
“This blow comes at a crucial time for St Helens, who are set to take on fierce rivals Wigan Warriors at Elland Road during the first day of the upcoming Magic Weekend on Saturday.”
The absence of Clark, a key figure in the team, will undoubtedly be a significant challenge for the reigning Super League champions as they look to maintain their position at the top of the league.
The news of Clark’s injury follows the recent update on the status of Lewis Dodd, another crucial player for St Helens. The team will have to dig deep and rely on their squad depth to navigate through this challenging period without their influential hooker.
Rugby league enthusiasts and St Helens fans alike will be closely monitoring the situation, hoping for a swift recovery for Daryl Clark and a positive outcome for the team as they continue their quest for success in the Super League competition.
