Leeds Rhinos have slammed a fake Facebook about their former player, and rugby league legend, Rob Burrow.

The club say Rob will be "enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend with his family".

It's after a fake post was circulated online - which the club have called "totally untrue" and "upsetting".

Fans online have shared their shock at the rumour, calling it "disgraceful" and "heart-breaking".

Leeds Rhinos have also confirmed they have reported the fake post to Facebook's parent company META.

They say they hope it is taken down "as soon as possible".
