Wigan rocked by O'Loughlin injury

Sean O'Loughlin
O'Loughlin has played all 12 Super League games this season

Wigan captain Sean O'Loughlin is likely to be out of action for up to three months after X-rays revealed the loose forward had broken a shoulder blade.

O'Loughlin, 25, who has been ever-present this season, was injured in the closing stages of Friday's 38-14 Super League win over Warrington.

"We are really disappointed. It is a blow to both the club and the player," said coach Brian Noble.

"He's been in great form and we'll miss him as a player and a leader."

Trent Barrett is expected to deputise as captain in his absence.

This is not the first time O'Loughlin has suffered serious injury. He missed much of the 2005 season after undergoing knee reconstruction surgery.
