Catalans Dragons welcome captain Ben Garcia back into their squad for the visit of Huddersfield Giants.
Garcia suffered a horrific ear injury in Catalans’ defeat to Warrington Wolves at Magic Weekend and did not feature last week in their loss to Salford Red Devils.
But he is back in Steve McNamara’s 21-man squad to face Huddersfield, among a total of four changes.
Arthur Mourgue also returns, after a month out with an ankle injury, though the Dragons have lost Julian Bousquet and Matt Whitley to knee injuries.
Tryone May is absent from the squad while Fouad Yaha dropped out after initially being named, as Romain Franco and Tiaki Chan come into contention.
Tom Davies (knee), Mike McMeeken (thumb) and Jordan Dezaria (foot) remain injured while Michael McIlorum and Dylan Napa continue to serve suspensions.
Huddersfield have only been able to raise a 19-man squad for the trip to France, even after the recall of Louis Senior from his loan at Hull KR to come straight into contention.
He has returned to the club in reaction to Jermaine McGillvary’s knee injury, suffered last week in their defeat to St Helens.
Tui Lolohea missed that game with an ankle injury and remains unavailable, so he drops out of the squad along with Nathan Mason.
Ian Watson is still making do without Ricky Leutele (knee), Chris Hill (calf) and Jack Cogger (hip).
