Castleford Tigers and England half-back Luke Gale is facing another prolonged period out injured after suffering a suspected ruptured Achilles tendon.
The 30-year-old, who had knee surgery during the close season, sustained his latest injury in training.
Gale also missed three months of 2018 with a fractured kneecap.
"He will be seeing a specialist to assess the injury but unfortunately the prognosis doesn't look great," Jon Wells.
"The whole club is gutted for Luke, who had been progressing really well following off-season surgery to his knee."
The 2017 Man of Steel has been capped nine times by England, establishing himself as the first-choice seven during the last World Cup.
