Hull KR centre Oliver Gildart suffers Challenge Cup blow as he learns extent of knee injury

The 27-year-old limped out of the warm-up ahead of the St Helens game and was replaced by Jack Broadbent who impressed in a 40-20 win.

Gildart has since learnt that he will miss several weeks, including next Saturday’s Challenge Cup semi-final against former club Wigan Warriors.

“Hull KR can confirm Oliver Gildart sustained a knee injury during the warm up in last week’s win over St. Helens,” read a statement.

“The centre will require surgery and will miss approximately the next six weeks. Everyone wishes Oliver a speedy recovery.”
