HULL FC interim coach Andy Last has made two changes to the 21-man squad that was named ahead of last week’s loss against Leigh Leopards.

Lewis Martin has returned from his head injury protocols, whilst Max Wood has come back into the squad having rejoined the Black and Whites on a one-month loan from Warrington Wolves.

The pair replace Yusuf Aydin, who misses out through head injury protocols, and Ben Johnson.

Mikey Lewis has been banned for four games following two separate charges from Hull KR’s loss to Warrington last weekend.

His place in Rovers’ 21-man squad has been taken by Jack Charles, whilst Peta Hiku returns for the injured Noah Booth.

Rovers dropped out of the top six following that loss to Warrington, whilst Hull FC remain second bottom.
