Hull FC and Huddersfield Giants have named their 21-man squads ahead of their Super League match on Sunday.
Hull have made three changes to the squad named for last week’s victory over Leeds Rhinos, with all three enforced.
Joe Cator has been ruled out for the season after rupturing his Achilles for a second time, while Jamie Shaul misses out with a calf strain and Kane Evans starts a two-match suspension.
Coming into the squad are Manu Ma’u, who could play for the first time this season following a hamstring injury, Jordan Lane, who has recovered from a back issue, and young hooker Denive Balmforth, who is named for the first time having recently joined from Warrington Wolves.
Hull remain without Carlos Tuimavave (hamstring), Darnell McIntosh (calf), Josh Reynolds (elbow), Luke Gale (suspended), Cameron Scott (ankle), Jacob Hookem (ankle) and Scott Taylor (foot).
Huddersfield have made only one change from last week’s squad for victory over Castleford Tigers, with Sebastine Ikahihifo absent from Ian Watson’s group following a head knock.
Nathan Mason, who was signed in the off-season from Leigh Centurions, has been named for the first time and is in line for a potential second debut for the club.
The Giants’ injury list remains unaltered with Jake Wardle (ankle), Theo Fages (calf), Josh Jones (concussion) and Jack Cogger (ankle) all still out.
