LEEDS Rhinos’ Tongan international David Fusitu’a will be out for two weeks after the club revealed he is set for a minor operation on a knee injury.

The winger has only played three games so far this season. He missed two matches after suffering concussion in the Rhinos’ Super League opener against Warrington. He also missed the last two matches against Salford and Castleford due to his knee problem.

Meanwhile, Rhinos have made one change to their squad for Friday’s home clash against St Helens with Max Simpson coming into the 21-man squad for the suspended Brad Dwyer.

Dwyer was handed a one-match penalty notice after the RFL’s match review panel charged him with grade A tripping in the Challenge Cup defeat to Castleford Tigers.
