Hull FC’s clash with Warrington Wolves tomorrow has been called off after the Black and Whites recorded cases of Covid-19.
Five of the club’s playing members have tested positive for the virus, with more stood down as a result of track and trace.
As a result, the club will shut down for the next five days, which has forced tomorrow’s game with the Wolves to be postponed.
However, it already raises concerns for a number of other games in the coming weeks – including the derby on August 21st.
Friday’s trip to Catalans is almost certain to be called off as those on track and trace will still be unavailable.
Those on track and trace will be back for the Derby, but the five players with the virus will be unavailable due to the 17-day return to play protocols in place. However, if the club records no further cases, there is hope the game could be played.
It is the latest disruption to the season for Brett Hodgson’s side, who recently went a month without a game due to cases across the competition.
