Cheshire await Davis fate

Cheshire Jets will find out later this week how long captain Calvin Davis will be sidelined after the American-born centre injured his ankle during his team's season opener against Newcastle.

Davis is expected to see a specialist on Tuesday after an initial assessment suggested damage to his fibula - an injury that could keep him out for at least three months.

"He'll be seeing a specialist in next 48 hrs so we'll know more then," confirmed jets head coach Paul Smith. "A&E say (his knee) is not broken but there are ligaments torn from bone. It is bad but it could be worse."
