Leeds Rhinos welcome back key men as squads named for Friday’s Super League clashes

The 21-man squads have been named for Friday’s two Super League clashes, as Salford Red Devils host Leeds Rhinos and Hull Kingston Rovers travel to Catalans Dragons.

Salford have made three changes to their squad for the televised visit of Leeds, including a return for Greg Burke following concussion.

However, James Greenwood is not included, while Jack Wells and Josh Johnson come in for Matt Costello and Sam Luckley.

The Red Devils continue to be without Kallum Watkins (ACL), Harvey Livett (wrist) and Dan Sarginson (shoulder).

There are also three changes to the Leeds squad, with Kruise Leeming, James Bentley and Cameron Smith all returning from suspensions.

Matt Prior will serve a one-game ban of his own while Corey Johnson and Muizz Mustapha are the other two players to make way.

David Fusitu’a and Mikolaj Oledzki are both including despite taking head knocks in last week’s defeat to Hull FC, but Harry Newman (hamstring), Richie Myler (groin), Tom Holroyd (ankle) and Sam Walters (shoulder) are still absent.

Catalans Dragons make only one change for the visit of Hull KR as they aim to make it five consecutive wins.

Dylan Napa returns to the squad after serving a four-match ban following his dismissal on his Dragons debut.

He replaces Jordan Dezaria, who begins his own three-game suspension, while Arthur Mourgue (ankle), Julian Bousquet (arm) and Matthieu Laguerre remain injured.

Hull KR have made two changes, with Dean Hadley out with a calf injury and Kane Linnett suffering a reoccurence of a recent quad injury.

Will Maher appears in the squad for the first time this season following an eye problem, with Will Tate also recalled.

Matt Parcell is named despite being a doubt with a leg issue though Lachlan Coote (hamstring), Ben Crooks (knee), Brad Takairangi (stood down) and Luis Johnson (foot) do not feature.
