Brad O’Neill returns to Wigan Warriors’ 21-man squad following suspension as they prepare for a trip to Wakefield Trinity.
Wigan had to play without a recognised hooker in last week’s win over Warrington Wolves so O’Neill’s return, replacing Junior Nsemba in the only change to Matt Peet’s squad, is welcome.
The Warriors must make do without Iain Thornley (knee), Thomas Leuluai (calf), Sam Powell (foot) and John Bateman (rib).
Wakefield make two changes to their squad as Jack Croft and Harry Bowes are recalled in place of Isaac Shaw and Rhys Evans.
Max Jowitt (hamstring), Tom Johnstone (groin), Reece Lyne (ankle), Jay Pitts (hand), Liam Kay (ankle) and Jorge Taufua (arm) are still ruled out for Willie Poching’s side.
