SAINTS will be without full back Jonny Lomax, centre Mark Percival and loose forward Mark Flanagan for Friday’s short trip to Widnes.

Lomax and Percival were due to have scans and see a specialist today after both picked up serious leg injuries in Friday’s win over Wakefield.

Flanagan will miss out for a spell after needing surgery on a damaged tear duct sustained from a challenge from Ali Lauitiiti in the second half.

Coach Keiron Cunningham was understandably dismayed.

He said: “Mark has needed surgery on the eye. If you watch the tackle back Lauitiiti hits him in the head with his shoulder.

“There was apparently no problem with the tackle, but if that is the case how come Mark Flanagan has split his eye and damaged his tear duct from that tackle?”
