He was able to walk off the field and is set to undergo scans, but coach Sam Burgess fears he could have become the latest Wolves player to suffer a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt is not looking great,\u201d Burgess said in his post-match press conference. \u201cWe will scan it and confirm it, but it is not looking too good for Arron.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIf it\u2019s what we think it is, he has joined a few other guys in that situation at our club. They will form a close bond and work hard and he will certainly be back. He is very determined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">ACL injuries have already ruled out Matty Ashton and Oli Leyland for the Wolves for the rest of 2025 and asked if Lindop could have joined that list, Warrington coach Burgess added: \u201cI don\u2019t want to say anything and look stupid, but everything is pointing that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lindop, 19, has scored six tries in 11 Super League games this season. \u201cHe has got a lot of promise,\u201d Burgess said. \u201cHe\u2019s a lovely lad and he has a great family.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt is unfortunate for Arron if that\u2019s the case, but we have got to manage it the best way we can, move forward and give the best support possible for Arron and his family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warrington Wolves boss refuses Challenge Cup as excuse for Leeds loss<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Warrington will also be without forward James Harrison for next week\u2019s home game against Huddersfield Giants after he failed a head injury assessment.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Saturday\u2019s defeat left Warrington in eighth spot on the table and facing a struggle to qualify for the play-offs with the Wolves possibly set to be four points adrift if results go against them on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Accepting his side were second-best, Burgess refused to use the sapping Challenge Cup final loss to Hull KR a week earlier as an excuse.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: \u201cLeeds played very well. I thought the first half was a high-quality game, the ball was in play a long time, but in the second half they blew us off the park.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cEveryone can search for different answers or excuses, but at the end of the day we had to turn up and play. Everyone\u2019s playing every week now so you\u2019ve got to be able to back it up \u2013 that\u2019s the bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He stressed: \u201cWe have got to be better in some areas, for sure. You can see we are trying our backsides off in areas, but it just wasn\u2019t happening for us. Leeds were very good and we\u2019ve got to improve on a couple of things, no doubt about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">FT with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ResultingIT?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@ResultingIT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Defeat at Headingley. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LVSO9i0l9i\">pic.twitter.com\/LVSO9i0l9i<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Warrington Wolves (@WarringtonRLFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WarringtonRLFC\/status\/1933954281696035291?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/srl-logo.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A potentially serious injury has added to Warrington Wolves\u2019 woes in their 36-12 hammering at Leeds Rhinos.
