O'Donnell set for Giants return
Thu March 29, 2012
Huddersfield back-rower Luke O'Donnell is poised to end a seven-month injury lay-off against Leeds at Headingley on Friday.

The former Australian International and NSW State of Origin represenative has not played since suffering a damaged cruciate knee ligament at St Helens last August but he has now fully recovered from surgery.

"Luke's fit and ready to play," said Giants coach Nathan Brown. "He's been fit for a couple of weeks but, after such major surgery, we didn't want to risk bringing him back in too early.

"He has looked good in training and he has shown us that the time is right to put him back in, which is obviously good news."

Huddersfield will be without captain Kevin Brown for a month after he aggravated an ankle injury in last Sunday's 40-22 defeat at Hull KR but hooker Luke Robinson and forward Lee Gilmour return and Brown has included second rower Jonny Molloy in his 19-man squad for the first time this year.

Leeds have full-back Brent Webb back after missing his side's 46-6 defeat at St Helens through injury.

O'Donnell out for up to six weeks
Wed May 18, 2011
Huddersfield Giants' Australian forward Luke O'Donnell will miss the mid-season international between England and the Exiles with the hamstring injury he sustained in the warm-up to the match against St Helens at the weekend.

O'Donnell, who was one of the first names on Exiles coach Brian McClennan's teamsheet for the inaugural international Origin fixture at Headingley on June 10, has been ruled out for four to six weeks.

The former Australia Test back-row forward has already started an intense period of rehabilitation but his absence will be a blow to Huddersfield ahead of Sunday's Carnegie Challenge Cup fifth-round tie against Catalan Dragons.

However, that disappointment could be offset by the return of prop forward Keith Mason from a knee injury.

Mason, who yesterday signed a new contract taking him to the end of the 2015 season, was initially ruled out for 12 weeks after damaging his left knee against Wakefield Trinity Wildcats on April 3.

But he had his brace removed last week and will join up with the rest of the squad for full training today.

"I'm probably about four or five weeks ahead of schedule," he said.

Huddersfield will also be without centre Joe Wardle for Sunday's cup tie after he sustained a minor hamstring injury in the 40-18 win over St Helens.
