Castleford forward Grant Millington will miss the Tigers Challenge Cup semi-final and possibly the rest of the season with a knee injury sustained in last week's Super League draw at Hull.
Millington, who has been an ever-present in Castleford's impressive Super League campaign so far this year after producing his best form for the club, is facing a six week spell on the sidelines which also rule him out of a trip to Wembley if the Tigers overcome Widens on Sunday week.
Castleford coach Daryl Powell said:
"The news is disappointing for both the team and for Grant personally but our medical staff will be working exceptionally hard to get Grant back as soon as possible."
Millington said:
"Obviously I'm really disappointed with the injury. It's always frustrating to have any time out from playing field as quickly as possible.
The loss of the ball-handling Australian is a major blow for Tigers, who have also lost second-rower Weller Hauraki to a two-match suspension. Though Powell says the club are considering appealing the ban on Hauraki, who was found guilty of using his knees in the tackle during the game at the KC Stadium.
