Back-rower Batchelor had to be helped from the field in the 6th minute of their 40-10 win over Leeds Rhinos on Friday night after sustaining an ankle injury. Meanwhile, veteran half-back Lomax left the action in the 35th minute clutching his hand.
speaking in his weekly press conference, Saints boss Wellens revealed they are both set for a lengthy period in the treatment room.
“Joe Batchelor has got some pretty significant ankle ligament damage there,” Wellens said. “It is looking like it is going to be a nine-week lay-off for him, around eight or nine weeks.
“Jonny Lomax has got a fracture to his hand. We’re not thinking that is going to require surgery, however, he will be missing for around four weeks.
