HULL FC welcome both Harvey Barron and Joe Batchelor back into their 21-man squad for Sunday’s visit of Toulouse Olympique.
Winger Barron and back-rower Batchelor return to contention following ankle and back injuries respectively, having each been limited to just four appearances so far this season.
Young forward Lennon Clark also comes into their squad while Ligi Sao (head) drops out alongside twins Callum and Lloyd Kemp, both of whom will play on loan for Goole Vikings against London Broncos on Saturday.
Leeds Rhinos duo Harry Newman and Jeremiah Mata’utia remain on loan for a further week.
Toulouse make just one change to their squad from a heavy defeat at York Knights last Thursday.
Former Hull forward Joe Cator returns after serving a two-match ban, with Mathieu Pons the man to make way.
Olympique are yet to get the better of Hull in three previous meetings.
