Salford Red Devils could have King Vuniyayawa back after three months on the sidelines when they host Hull FC on Thursday.
The prop has been out with a pec injury since May but is one of three returning figures to Paul Rowley’s 21-man squad this week.
Shane Wright and Dan Sarginson also return after shorter injury absences, with Sitaleki Akauola the only player from last week’s side not to be named ahead of Hull.
James Greenwood (ankle), Danny Addy (Achilles), Jack Wells (unspecified) and Morgan Escaré (thumb) are all still out for Salford.
Brett Hodgson is forced to make three changes to Hull’s 21-man squad as Danny Houghton (quad) joins Manu Ma’u (arm) and Joe Lovodua (knee) in being ruled out for the remaining rounds of the season.
Jake Connor and Kane Evans return from suspension, while young forward Will Gardiner is named in a first-team squad for the first time.
Adam Swift (leg), Carlos Tuimavave (Achilles), Josh Griffin (quad), Darnell McIntosh (ankle), Andre Savelio (knee), Joe Cator (Achilles), Jack Brown (shoulder), Cameron Scott (groin) and Jack Walker (ankle) remain sidelined.
