Salford Red Devils boosted by surprise return as squads named for Wakefield Trinity tie

Dan Sarginson has been named in Salford Red Devils’ 21-man squad for the trip to Wakefield Trinity on Sunday.

The centre was expected to be out long-term with a shoulder injury suffered just over a month ago, but is already back in contention for Paul Rowley’s side.

Salford also have Ken Sio back in the squad following a concussion, though they are without James Greenwood due to an ankle injury.

Danny Addy and Jack Wells also drop out of the squad, with Sam Luckley and Amir Bourouh recalled, while Kallum Watkins (knee), Shane Wright (hamstring) and Harvey Livett (calf) remain unavailable.

For hosts Wakefield, Tom Johnstone returns to the squad after missing their Challenge Cup win at Warrington Wolves due to the concussion suffered the previous week.

Lewis Murphy takes his place in the only change to their group, with Bill Tupou, Tom Lineham, Lee Kershaw (all knee), Lee Gaskell (elbow) and Thomas Minns (hand) all still out.
