HULL FC’s injury crisis continues with Aidan Sezer dropping out of the squad for Sunday’s clash against Leeds Rhinos with a pectoral injury.
Yusuf Aydin also misses out with an ankle issue, with Will Hutchinson and Ben Johnson taking their place.
Leeds are in better shape with all their 1-17 squad numbers named, although halfback George Brown is now set for a long spell on the sideline with a knee problem.
Brown’s place in the Rhinos’ 21-man squad has been taken by Ben Littlewood, whilst Jack Bird is set to make his debut.
