Salford Red Devils injury news: Brodie Croft’s absence explains Man of Steel’s struggles Salford Red Devils star Brodie Croft is out as the current Man of Steel suffers an injury.
He will not play in Sunday’s match against Wigan Warriors.
The superstar centre-back was a notable omission from Paul Lowry’s 21-man squad, announced at lunchtime on Friday ahead of Sunday’s home game against Wigan.
“He’s got a little bit of a problem,” Red Devils assistant coach Chrisnan Inu said at the club’s weekly press conference.
“He’s been playing a lot of minutes and is obviously our last-minute key guy, so he should get some rest.
“We gave him a little bit of time off this week, but we hope he’s back next week.
I am.
“We have players who can be replaced, we have quality players who can play in multiple positions.
” “We have players who can play in other positions who can replace the Man of Steel.
We have players who can.
” Salford Red Devils assistant coach provides information on Andy Ackers.
England international Andy Ackers has been out of action since May 28 after failing two head injury tests in the space of a few weeks.
The 29-year-old will not play for Salford this weekend, but Dogs says Ackers is fit and training well.
“Ackers is ready,” Inu added.
“He still has some things to check off, but he’s ready.
I think it’s up to Super League or the RFL to decide what boxes need to be ticked, but he’s trained well and is ready.
“Ackers hasn’t played in recent weeks.
Don’t worry, we have some good players who are ready to do their job, fill those gaps and lead us.
It will help make us a complete team.
” Salford will be aiming to get back to winning ways on Sunday’s return.
But Dogs knows he has to be much better than he was in last week’s Challenge Cup quarter-final defeat to Hull KR.
“Everyone who plays against Wigan knows it’s going to be a big game, so you’re always ready for a big game,” Inu added.
“The players that come in, they know they have a job to do and it’s a big job, so they’re going to prepare as well as they can and they’re worried because they’re on the form side.
