Adrian Lam has named the 21-man Wigan Warriors squad to face Warrington Wolves this Friday in Round 15 of the Betfred Super League (K.O. 7:45pm).

The Cherry and Whites will look to bounce back from last weekend’s cup defeat when they take on Steve Price’s men at Emerald Headingley Stadium.

The Warriors Head Coach has made five changes from the side that faced Leeds Rhinos.

Recent signing Brad Singleton features for the first time since his arrival in September and could make his debut on Friday night.

Second-row Morgan Smithies returns for selection after serving his sixth and final match ban received for two separate incidents during Wigan’s win over Castleford in Round 10.

Following the news that two Wigan players had tested positive for Corona Virus (learn more HERE), a third unnamed played has also been ruled out following the results of a positive test.

Speaking to the media on Wednesday morning, Lam confirmed the result saying: “This third positive test was not a part of the team last weekend and has been isolating away from the squad.”

All three are isolating and have no contact with the rest of the Wigan Warriors squad.
