Bourouh left the field in Perpignan following a bang to his cheek and has a crack on the bone.

The 24-year-old is now awaiting specialist treatment but has trained in non-contact sessions this week, with the club looking after their new recruit, who has been one of the side's most consistent players this season, ahead of next Friday's game against Castleford Tigers.

Providing an exclusive update to the Mail, head coach John Cartwright said: "He’s had an x-ray, but he’s waiting to see a specialist. He's got a crack there, but we just have to wait and see what the specialist says.
