Hull KR are without 15 members of their first-team squad for Thursday night’s trip to Wigan Warriors.
Danny McGuire has only been able to raise a 20-man squad for the Super League match, including two youngsters included for the very first time in Harvey Moore and Connor Barley.
Zach Fishwick is recalled as the Robins have four more players unavailable, including Ryan Hall who tore his calf in last week’s win over Warrington Wolves.
Mikey Lewis suffered a leg injury and Jimmy Keinhost failed a head injury assessment during the game, while Korbin Sims has been suspended.
Those four join a huge injury list with Brad Takairangi (hamstring), Shaun Kenny-Dowall (neck), Jordan Abdull (quad), Albert Vete (groin), Dean Hadley (shoulder), Kane Linnett (bicep), Matty Storton (toe), Luis Johnson (pec), Tom Garratt (head), Frankie Halton (collarbone) and Dan Okoro (wrist).
Greg Richards also picked up a hamstring injury against Warrington but has been named in the squad and has a chance of featuring this week.
Wigan’s squad is faring better, and Matt Peet has been able to name an unchanged 21 from last week’s defeat at Leeds Rhinos.
Their only absences are Iain Thornley (knee), Thomas Leuluai (calf), John Bateman (rib) and Brad Singleton, who completes a three-match suspension.
