Hull KR confirm that Michael Dobson has picked up a shoulder injury but the news is positive in that he’s only expected to be missing for the next month.

Being without the influential scrum-half is a blow for the Robins, but Head Coach Craig Sandercock is happy that Dobson will be back in the fold relatively quickly.

“Michael suffered an injury to his shoulder during the game at Wakefield last weekend and was removed from the field as a precautionary measure,” he said.

“His injury requires nothing more than conservative management though and it looks likely that he’ll only miss the next month of football which is positive news for us. Being without Michael makes life tough for us, especially with the other injuries that we have, but I’ve always said that these kind of problems present opportunities for others and we’ll just get on with the job.”
