He was immediately tended to by medics before leaving the pitch on a stretcher eight minutes later.

Hull KR released a statement on Twitter shortly after the incident occurred to confirm that the forward was conscious.

It read: “Hull KR can confirm James Batchelor is conscious and okay. The back-rower has been taken to hospital as a precaution.

“Rest up, Batch.”

Batchelor is now set to miss next week’s match against Catalans Dragons.

The severity of his injury has not yet been disclosed so the timeframe for his return to action is unclear.
