Wigan Warriors have been dealt a significant blow with the news that star
forward, Liam Farrell, will be out of action for an extended period due to a
serious knee injury.
Farrell suffered the injury during last weekend’s match against St. Helens and
underwent scans, which revealed a torn ACL. The 32-year-old will undergo
surgery and is expected to be sidelined for at least 6-9 months.
“Liam is a key player for us, and this is a huge loss,” said Wigan Warriors head
coach, Matt Peet. “We’ll miss his leadership and skill on the field, but our
main concern is getting him back to full fitness.”
Farrell’s absence will be deeply felt, but the Warriors are hopeful that he will
return stronger than ever. In the meantime, the team will need to rally
together to fill the void left by their injured star.
