London Broncos have confirmed that centre David Howell broke his arm in the opening game 14-28 defeat by Widnes on Sunday. 
The 29-year-old Australian suffered the injury in the second half and was taken straight to hospital. No timescale has been given for his recovery period. Meanwhile, the Broncos are confident that the groin injury that forced captain Craig Gower off in the first half of the match is not serious.
Howell who is now in his sixth season with the London-based side was injured during the second half of the clash with the Vikings at Twickenham Stoop and was taken to hospital, where the extent of the problem was confirmed.
Fellow Australian Craig Gower was forced out of the clash in the first half and will work with physiotherapists during the week, but the club say his injury “doesn’t look too serious”.
Meanwhile, Widnes have revealed half-back Danny Craven suffered a fractured right collarbone during his side’s 28-14 win. The 21-year-old will have surgery this week and is set to be out for 12 weeks.
State of Mind would like to wish David, Craig and Danny a speedy recovery in their quests to return to the field as soon as possible
