WORCESTER Warriors are likely to be without hooker Jack Singleton for Sunday’s trip to Sale Sharks in the Gallagher Premiership (3pm).

Singleton was forced to miss Warriors’ 21-20 loss to Wasps last Saturday due to a neck problem and boss Alan Solomons admitted he was still struggling with the issue.

Should the talented 22-year-old fail to recover in time Niall Annett looks set to retain the number two shirt after making his long-awaited return to top-flight action.

Annett who missed the entire 2017-18 campaign due to injury played 51 minutes against Wasps before being replaced by USA international Joe Taufete’e.

“Jack’s neck is still bothering him a little bit,” Solomons said.

“We will have a look at it.

“But Niall did really well for a guy who has been out for a long time.

“He played 50 minutes of rugby and I thought he did outstandingly well.

“Joey did well so we are fortunate to have those two there.

“For Jack to come into consideration he has got to be injury free.”
