St Helens hooker Keiron Cunningham has been ruled out for up to four weeks after picking up a knee injury in the Celtic Crusaders game.He will now have minor surgery in order to be fit in time for the Carnegie Challenge Cup semi-final against Huddersfield Giants on 9th August.



"He'll probably be out for three or four weeks," confirmed coach Mick Potter.



"He's been just about ever present apart from one and has really done the hard minutes, starting the games, showing what a leader and a good player he is.



"He has been enormous, a real asset and has made us rock-solid for most of the year so far."
