Huddersfield Giants welcome significant returnees for Hull KR trip

Huddersfield Giants have captain Luke Yates back from suspension for their trip to Hull KR but are without halfback Jack Cogger.

Cogger suffered a hip injury in their victory over Leeds Rhinos two weeks and has not been named in their 21-man squad for Sunday’s Super League tie.

As well as Yates, Sebastine Ikahihifo also returns to contention for Huddersfield, with Jack Ashworth the other player making way from the squad following his loan move to Featherstone Rovers.

Theo Fages and Chris Hill are still out with calf injuries for the Giants.

Hull KR make only change to their 21-man squad as Luis Johnson drops out with the pectoral injury, suffered a fortnight ago at St Helens, that is likely to see the back-row miss the remainder of the season.

Korbin Sims returns to contention in his place as the Robins remain without Brad Takairangi (hamstring), Jordan Abdull (quad), Kane Linnett (bicep) and Tom Garratt (head).
