Almost FORTY Super League players have been injured during the Easter period.

The shocking revelation comes after the majority of teams played three games in under ten days and has decimated a number of squads going into the middle stage of the regular season.

Among the injuries are two season-ending ACL injuries and a number of soft-tissue injuries, such as Chris Sandow’s hamstring injury picked up against Wigan.

The results of the list feature players that missed any game during the Easter period following an injury and those who are set to miss out on action after sustaining damage between Friday and Sunday.

Among the worst affected are Hull KR and Widnes Vikings, with Rovers losing SEVEN players during the period.

Players like Kevin Brown, who didn’t feature at all during Easter, are not featured on this list.

The evidence once again raises concerns about the short turnarounds being forced upon players, with a number of head coaches raising concerns throughout.
