ANDREW McCullough has this morning had scans on the knee he injured at training yesterday.

As the Broncos’ physiotherapy team first surmised yesterday, McCullough has a medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury.

While the hooker will certainly be missing for some weeks, the Broncos investigate all options meaning McCullough will visit a surgeon later this week.

Broncos’ Head of Performance Paul Devlin said the news was positive and that McCullough was a great chance for a quicker than normal return.

“He has had a scan today and he has got a fairly decent MCL injury so we will send him for a surgical opinion on that and go from there,” said Devlin.

“We have seen some guys come back from MCLs in accelerated time now so we will hold some hope for that.

“They tend to heal pretty well, he will go into as brace and we will progress his rehab journey straight away.

“There is no more professional player especially with injuries than Andrew, so if anyone is going to get back really quickly, he will certainly be a candidate for that.”

Devlin said there were no other injury concerns for the Broncos.
