St Helens have Morgan Knowles back from suspension in the only change to their 21-man squad for Sunday’s trip to Salford Red Devils.
He replaces Dan Norman, who has a gluten injury, for Kristian Woolf’s Super League leaders.
Norman joins Tommy Makinson (hamstring), Will Hopoate (pec), Mark Percival (knee), Lewis Dodd (Achilles) and Matty Foster (knee) on the sidelines, while Sione Mata’utia continues to serve a ban.
Salford have only named an 18-man squad for the fixture as they continue to struggle on the injury front.
Danny Addy has been lost for the season with an Achilles injury, Ryan Brierley is out due to concussion, and Ben Hellewell’s loan from Featherstone Rovers has come to an end.
Sitaleki Akauola and Sam Luckley return from suspension in the only positives for Paul Rowley.
Shane Wright (hamstring), James Greenwood (ankle), King Vuniyayawa (pec), Harvey Livett (knee), Jack Wells (unspecified), Morgan Escare (thumb) and Tyler Dupree (knee) all remain injured.
