The Saints will be without Dougal Howard and Hunter Clark for several weeks, as the extent of Friday night’s injury toll is confirmed.
Howard underwent surgery today to trim a medial meniscal tear, with his recovery expected to take 3-4 weeks.
Teammate Hunter Clark is also on the mend, having undergone facial surgery on Saturday.
It is projected that Clark will miss two weeks.
In good news, both Rowan Marshall and Dan Butler have been cleared to play after both receiving medical attention during Friday night’s game.
Meanwhile, Jack Hayes has begun running again as his ACL rehabilitation continues.
