Leeds Rhinos have suffered yet another injury blow with the news that Jamie Jones-Buchanan is expected to be out for at least ten weeks.

The experienced international forward suffered a knee injury during Sunday's defeat by the Huddersfield Giants.

The Rhinos are already missing nine regular first-teamers, with coach Brian McDermott forced to name five teenagers in the squad to play the Giants.

Fifteen of the 19-man squad had come through the club's academy system.

Jones-Buchanan joins Kevin Sinfield (thumb), Ryan Bailey (thumb), Kallum Watkins (ankle), Kylie Leuluai (knee), Liam Hood (ankle), Joe Vickery (knee), Brett Delaney (knee), Stevie Ward (shoulder) and Danny McGuire (leg), all of whom are all currently unavailable.
