Leeds Rhinos could hand a debut to new loan signing Yusuf Aydin when they travel to Toulouse Olympique on Saturday night.
The 21-year-old has signed from Wakefield Trinity on a two-week deal, with fellow props Matt Prior, Zane Tetevano, Tom Holroyd and Muizz Mustapha all currently suspended.
Aydin has been named in Rohan Smith’s 20-man squad, along with Bodene Thompson and Liam Tindall who return from suspension and a facial injury respectively.
The trio replace Prior and halfbacks Blake Austin and Aidan Sezer, who are ruled out by thigh and hand injuries respectively, while Kruise Leeming (foot) and Tom Briscoe (ankle) remain sidelined and Harry Newman is also banned after failing in his second appeal.
Toulouse make two changes to their 21-man squad as Mathieu Jussaume and James Cunningham return to contention.
They replace Anthony Marion and Eloi Pelissier, while Toulouse are still without Lloyd White (back) and Andrew Dixon (adductor).
Castleford Tigers welcome Gareth O’Brien back into their squad for the visit of Warrington Wolves in Saturday’s other Super League contest.
O’Brien has been out with a calf injury since the beginning of June but replaces the suspended Liam Watts in the only change to Lee Radford’s group.
The Tigers remain without Jordan Turner (shoulder), Jake Trueman, Callum McLelland and Ryan Hampshire (all knee).
Warrington are without Gareth Widdop following his season-ending shoulder injury, with Tom Whitehead replacing him in the only change to Daryl Powell’s 21-man squad for the trip to his former club.
Jack Hughes is also out with a shoulder injury along with Joe Philbin (knee), while Mike Cooper and Kyle Amor haven’t been included.
