Matt Dufty injury latest as Burgess confirms his full-back replacement
SAM Burgess has provided a further update on Matt Dufty's fitness, with Warrington Wolves set for a spell without their influential full-back. And while the exact amount of time he will spend on the sidelines remains unclear, Burgess has ruled Dufty out of at least the next two Super League matches, starting with Saturday's trip to Leeds Rhinos. Advertisement The Australian is waiting to have surgery having fractured his left eye socket during Saturday's Challenge Cup Final following a head-on-head collision with Hull KR forward James Batchelor. Dufty is treated on the field at Wembley (Image: Allan McKenzie/ Having initially attempted to play on, Dufty eventually succumbed in the final 10 minutes before the Robins went on to snatch victory in the dying seconds to break Warrington's hearts. He is the second Wire player to suffer a fractured eye socket in recent weeks after scrum-half Marc Sneyd did so during the Round Nine victory over St Helens. Sneyd returned just 16 days later in time for the Challenge Cup semi-final victory over Leigh Leopards, but Burgess hinted Dufty may be out for a longer period. Read more Sauaso Sue spitting verdict confirmed as tribunal reaches decision Advertisement Why fans may want to arrive early and stay late when Wire visit Headingley Warrington Wolves' Super League task explained as season resumes 'We don't know exactly as he hasn't had his surgery yet – there's too much swelling at the moment,' he said. 'He'll be going in at the end of the week. 'It'll be similar to what Marc Sneyd's was and that was two or three weeks. 'We obviously pushed Marc – and he pushed himself – for the semi-final and we're not in that situation anymore, but we'll see how Duff pulls up early next week. 'He's not going to be playing for at least two weeks.' Sam Burgess confirms Matt Dufty full-back replacement With young full-back Cai Taylor-Wray also absent with a torn hamstring, Burgess all but confirmed Stefan Ratchford would deputise for Dufty in what will be his first start at full-back since July 2022. Advertisement The veteran came off the bench to replace Dufty at Wembley and Burgess said simply slotting him in 'makes a bit of sense.' 'Stef's played there before and has filled a number of roles for us, so it looks that way,' he said. 'We've got a few things we want to have a look at over the next few days but it probably makes a bit of sense. 'He's such a valuable bloke and he's played pretty much everywhere – he's told me he's not played front-row so I'm not sure I'm going to put him there! 'Keeping him on this year was a big decision, but we thought he could add some value and I think he's played around 75 per cent of our games this year. Advertisement 'He's filled a number of roles and has done a good job, so he's great to have around.' More than half of Stefan Ratchford's 351 Wire appearances have come at full-back, but his last start at number one came back in July 2022 (Image: Paul Currie/ Warrington Wolves post-Wembley injury news Burgess confirmed Dufty was Warrington's only fresh injury concern ahead of the Round 14 trip to Headingley. Skipper George Williams, centre Toby King and forwards Lachlan Fitzgibbon and Jordy Crowther all returned from injury for the cup final and all are likely to feature against Brad Arthur's side. Advertisement 'They all came through the game okay so touch wood, if their week goes okay they should all be lining up this week,' Burgess said. 'In terms of new injuries, it's just Duff – there's a few bumps and bruises but everybody should make the game.' Having pushed himself to return early from ankle surgery for the game, George Williams has emerged from the Challenge Cup Final unscathed (Image: Richard Sellers/PA Wire) Along with Dufty and Taylor-Wray, Warrington will still be without long-term absentees Danny Walker, Matty Ashton, Oli Leyland (all knee) and Leon Hayes (ankle) for the trip to Headingley. Walker and Hayes are still several weeks away from being back in contention, while Ashton and Leyland will both miss the remainder of 2025.

Warrington Wolves' full-back options assessed - who could replace Dufty?
Stefan Ratchford is among the options to replace the injured Matt Dufty at full-back (Image: Paul Currie/ AS they pick up their Super League campaign again, Warrington Wolves will do so with a fresh injury to a key player. Full-back Matt Dufty fractured his eye socket during Saturday's Challenge Cup Final defeat following a head-on-head collision with Hull KR's James Batchelor, who received a Grade C head contact charge and five penalty points as a result. Advertisement After the game, Sam Burgess said they would be without the Australian for 'a while,' with a further update on his condition expected this afternoon when Burgess addresses the media to preview the trip to Leeds Rhinos this weekend. Matt Dufty is treated for the injury he suffered at Wembley (Image: Allan McKenzie/ At the very least, The Wire can plan to be without Dufty for the game at Headingley, which brings about the question of how he will be replaced. The waters are muddied given youngster Cai Taylor-Wray, who has established himself as Dufty's understudy, is also injured – he tore his hamstring playing for the reserves back in April and is not expected to play again this season. Oli Leyland also has history of playing at full-back but his season is also over having suffered an ACL injury, meaning Burgess' options have narrowed. Advertisement Below, we look at some of the potential solutions he could opt for… STEFAN RATCHFORD The veteran utility man replaced Dufty for the latter stages at Wembley having been named on the bench primarily as half-back and centre cover given George Williams and Toby King's fragility as they returned from injury. Simply drafting him in from the start would cause the least disruption to other areas of the team in terms of selection – he would simply move from the bench to the starting side, with Max Wood then seemingly favourite to take his interchange spot. Full-back has been his most common position during his long Warrington career – of his 351 appearances for the club, more than half (182) have seen him start in the number one shirt. Advertisement However, the last of those starts at the back came nearly three years ago during a 35-22 defeat at Castleford Tigers in July 2022. Stefan Ratchford could slot into full-back having played extensively in the halves during 2025 in George Williams' absence (Image: Paul Currie/ JOSH THEWLIS Another option could be moving Josh Thewlis into the position many had earmarked him for long-term as he became an established first-teamer. As recently as the start of last year, the expectation was that Thewlis was next in line for the club's number one jersey, but Dufty's resurgence in form and the emergence of Taylor-Wray through the academy means his future is set to lie on the wing. Advertisement However, he remains a natural full-back and would no doubt relish the prospect of more time in a position he is still keen to play in. Moving Thewlis to full-back would create an opening on the right wing, which would likely be filled by either his younger brother Jake or Connor Wrench, who made two bright appearances against Wakefield and Hull KR having recovered from his second ACL injury in as many years. His last start at full-back came in June 2023 during a 22-6 defeat to Leeds Rhinos at The Halliwell Jones Stadium. Wembley try-scorer Josh Thewlis spent his academy and early first-team career at full-back before moving to the wing (Image: Simon Wilkinson/ FLYNN HOLDEN No doubt the most left-field and unlikely option, but could Burgess put his faith in a youngster who has been in fine form for the academy and reserves? Advertisement Livewire full-back Flynn Holden has been a key part of flying starts to the season for both sides, scoring 10 tries in 11 appearances to date. He would be making his senior debut should he be given the nod and given the more experienced options available, the likelihood is he may have to wait but Burgess has shown his willingness to put faith in the club's young talent – even this year, Holden's teammates Ewan Irwin and Zack Gardner have made their first-team debuts.

Javier Tebas talks Madrid derby, relationship with Perez, Real Madrid TV – ‘He wants to fire me'
La Liga president Javier Tebas has addressed several key issues surrounding Spanish football, offering strong opinions on Real Madrid, president Florentino Perez, and the ongoing scheduling and broadcasting disputes in the league. In a wide-ranging conversation, Tebas did not shy away from calling out what he sees as fundamental problems affecting the domestic competition. Advertisement Tebas voiced his frustration with external competitions disrupting the La Liga calendar, especially as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are both set to participate in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. When asked about the potential of a Madrid derby to open the 2025–26 season, Tebas was firm in his response. 'An Atletico-Real Madrid match on Matchday 1 is impossible,' he said. 'This isn't like the Super Cup. 'That fixture is far too important for broadcasters. When the time comes, we'll make decisions with the relevant bodies. 'But we can't keep changing our league schedule for events we don't agree with or that harm Spanish football. We have to respect the collective bargaining agreement with AFE.' Relationship with Florentino Perez The La Liga chief made it clear that his relationship with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is practically non-existent due to their opposing views on how football should be run. Tebas and Perez's relationship is strained. (Photo by Gonzalo) 'With the club, relations are as they should be. We can broadcast their games, and we do it well,' Tebas stated. 'But with Florentino Perez, there is no relationship. We're on completely different paths. 'He supports a model based on elitism and an oligarchic vision—the Super League. I don't support that. It's not about club management, it's about how the competition is structured.' Tebas even went so far as to accuse Perez of using personal influence to attempt to oust him. 'He keeps saying over lunch that he wants to fire me and claims the CSD agrees with him. I've filed countless complaints with the TAD because of him.' On Real Madrid TV Tebas also commented on the recurring controversy surrounding Real Madrid TV, which has often published videos critical of La Liga referees. Advertisement He drew attention to the timing of their media output, suggesting it was more strategic than principled. 'Barcelona complains once or twice a season. Real Madrid complains every week. 'What stood out to me is that once they were no longer in the title race, those videos stopped. If their goal was to denounce the Liga Negreira case, why did they stop?' Tebas questioned. Source: AS
