Jonny Lomax has been named in St Helens’ 19-man squad to face Salford.
The England fullback has missed the last four matches with a knee injury but is set to return to the fold when Saints travel to face the in-form Red Devils on Thursday.
He is among three changes to the 19-man squad, with Lomax, Morgan Knowles and Matty Fleming being included instead of Adam Swift, Greg Richards and Jack Ashworth.
Meanwhile, Salford have suffered a blow ahead of the game, with Junior Sa’u not named in the 19-man squad.
The centre left the field during the club’s 46-10 win over Widnes with a leg injury, and has not recovered in time for the clash with Keiron Cunningham’s side.
Jake Bibby replaces him in the squad in the only change made by Ian Watson.
