WAKEFIELD TRINITY have welcomed back Jack Sinfield for Saturday’s clash with Catalans Dragons after a three game absence.
The halfback, who has been sidelined with a delayed concussion following the Magic Weekend win over Castleford, is one of two changes to Daryl Powell’s squad for the trip to Perpignan.
Jordan Williams also comes back into the side, with Lachlan Walmsley and Myles Lawford dropping out.
Catalans show three changes from their derby win over Toulouse last weekend – with dual code youngster Hugo Cellier named in the extended squad for the first time.
Léo Darrélatour returns to the squad, having been withdrawn in the warm-up ahead of the defeat to St Helens, with Giovanni Descalzi also recalled.
Solomona Faataape, who pulled up with a hamstring injury against Toulouse, drops out, as do Lenny Marc and Edenn Rogers-Smith.
Fullback Charlie Staines is in line to make his 100th career appearance.
