The winger suffered the excruciating issue during Thursday’s session with the Championship club.

And after being rushed to hospital, the 23-year-old had it removed.

Johnson revealed on Friday: “What a load of b******s.

“Not my greatest Thursday ever with the old testicle exploding at training. Had it removed last night.

“Will be back soon, just a little bit lighter and as the saying goes, Rugby League wins again.”

Despite his pain and the operation, Johnson is seeing the funny side to his problem.

He even had a cheeky question after his trauma.

He added, perhaps hopefully: “PS does the swelling stay? Asking for a friend.”
