Wigan Warriors winger Pat Richards injured his knee during the Super League game with Hull FC on Sunday.
The Irish-Australian professional rugby player could be sidelined for at least a month after sustaining ligament injury.
Coach – Shaun Wane said: “It is a shame to lose Pat, I thought he was terrific at Hull, he had a scan on Monday and he will go and see the surgeon (on Tuesday). He could be out for anything between four and six weeks.”

The midfielder sustained the injury during the SPL match against St Mirren and is ruled out of Glasgow’s weekend game with Hearts.
Manager – Ally McCoist said: “Davo is struggling a little bit. It’s not been confirmed yet in terms of the extent of the injury, but it looks like he’ll probably need a wee operation towards the end of the season.., but he won’t be involved at the weekend, that’s for sure.”
Description:
An abdominal strain occurs when the rectus abdominus is torn or ruptured. The abdominal muscles allow movement, assist with breathing, and provide support to the spine. They consist of the internal and external obliques, rectus abdominus, and the transversus abdominus. The transversus abdominus muscle is triangular and flat, and the rectus abdominus is long and flat. If the abdominal muscles become weak or tight, they can cause poor posture and back pain.
Description:
A flail chest occurs as a result of a trauma to the chest, leading to at least 3 ribs becoming fractured or broken, close together, with pieces of bone detaching from the chest wall. These segments of bone start to move independently of the chest wall and in the opposite direction because of lung pressure. The damaged rib cage prevents the lungs expanding fully, in this area.
