Wakefield's head physio, Ryan Carmody, said: “Earlier on in pre-season we received the news that Bish had been diagnosed with a medical condition.
"Unfortunately it’s stopped him taking part in any sort of training and means he’s set for a fairly lengthy spell on the sidelines.
"He’s currently under investigation with the medical team and we hope to see Bish back in the red, white and blue during the summer.”
