Wakefield Trinity and Huddersfield Giants welcome players back to squad for Super League clash

Wakefield Trinity and Huddersfield Giants have named their 21-man squads to face each other in Thursday’s Super League game.

Willie Poching makes only one change to his Wakefield squad, with Jai Whitbread returning in place of Sadiq Adebiyi.

Trinity remain without Bill Tupou, Tom Lineham (both knee), Liam Hood (shoulder), Lee Kershaw (knee) and Thomas Minns (concussion).

Huddersfield miss three players because of suspension as Tui Lolohea, Chris Hill and Jack Cogger all serve bans.

But Ian Watson also welcomes back a trio, with Theo Fages (neck), Matty English (hip) and Owen Trout (shoulder) all in contention again for the first time since sustaining their respective injuries in a draw at Leeds Rhinos two weeks ago.

George Roby replaces Louis Senior in the final change to their selection, with Will Pryce (suspension) and Adam O’Brien (concussion) still unavailable.
