Hull KR vs Salford Red Devils: Team news, injuries and TV channel as Willie Peters set to hand debut to new signing

HULL KR take on Salford Red Devils in the first Challenge Cup Quarter-Final game on Saturday.

With these two sides already playing each other a fortnight ago at the Magic Weekend, it promises to be an interesting battle with Rovers also going down 38-4 to Catalans Dragons last time out.

Salford, meanwhile, are on an impressive run under Paul Rowley, beating Rovers in Newcastle before swatting aside Castleford Tigers with ease last weekend.

Team news and injuries

KR will be without Jordan Abdull and Sam Wood, who are both long-term absentees, with Lachlan Coote also set to miss indefinitely with concussion. Tanguy Zenon could make his debut after joining a two-week loan from Catalans.

Salford, on the other hand, have come through the recent weeks relatively unscathed, though there is still no Andy Ackers.
