HULL FC INJURY UPDATE: CARTWRIGHT SIDELINED, CUST GIVEN DEADLINE TO PROVE FITNESS
Hull FC forward Jed Cartwright has suffered a significant setback, tearing his hamstring and ruling him out of action. However, head coach Brett Hodgson’s counterpart, John Cartwright, is taking a cautious approach with halfback Cade Cust, who is racing against time to prove his fitness for the upcoming Super League clash against Castleford Tigers.
Cust’s injury concerns arose after he exited the field prematurely during the match against Wakefield Trinity, nursing a hip complaint. Despite the setback, Cartwright is giving the Australian playmaker until the day before the Castleford fixture to demonstrate his readiness to return to action.
This deadline provides Cust with a narrow window to recover and prove his fitness, and Cartwright will be closely monitoring the halfback’s progress in the lead-up to the match. The Hull FC coaching staff will be hoping that Cust can overcome his injury woes and return to the lineup, as his presence would undoubtedly bolster the team’s chances against Castleford.
