Walmsley out for remainder of the year

Scans have ruled St Helens and 2022 Dream Team prop forward Alex Walmsley out for the conclusion of the 2022 Betfred Super League season and the upcoming Rugby League World Cup.

Walmsley sustained a foot injury in the Saints defeat to Wigan Warriors in Round 25 and left the stadium in a brace.

Initial scans showed a short-term injury, but subsequent results have revealed an injury with a much longer recovery period.

Walmsley will therefore not feature in Saints’ Super League Play-Off run-in and will also miss out on a home Rugby League World Cup with England in October.
