Injury update on Ben Hunt

Ben Hunt has been cleared of any serious injury after a training mishap this morning.

Hunt left the field with a painful arm injury at Red Hill near the end of the session after coming into contact with a teammate.

He was immediately sent for scans but there was nothing to indicate any serious damage.

Hunt is expected to be named for Friday’s match against Dragons at Suncorp Stadium when Wayne Bennett releases the team this afternoon.

“Ben was sent for precautionary scans this morning but there was no evidence of any fracture,” said Broncos’ High Performance Manager Jeremy Hickmans.

“We will look after him over the next couple of days and expect he will be right to play against the Dragons on Friday night.”

The Broncos will name the team at 4pm this afternoon.
