ENGLAND’S first training session of the year has been cancelled because more than half the squad are injured.
Head coach Shaun Wane last week named his latest 30-man elite training squad and planned to bring the players together for the first of a series of sessions at Headingley tomorrow.
Media arrangements were put in place but the media was informed this morning that the session had been “cancelled due to the unavailability of a significant number of players following the weekend’s fixtures.”
The PA news agency understands that Wane would have been without more than half his 30-strong squad, including Alex Walmsley and Jack Welsby, from champions St Helens, Leeds prop Mikolaj Oledzki and Warrington hooker Daryl Clark, who were all injured at the weekend.
It is a setback for Wane but the coach has further England training sessions planned for April and May in the build-up to the game against the Combined Nations All Stars at Warrington in June and will also get his group together in July and August ahead of the World Cup.
