MATT DUFTY could return for Warrington Wolves when they travel to Huddersfield Giants this Saturday.
The fullback has been named in Sam Burgess’ 21-man squad for the fixture after missing their last three games with a knee injury suffered at Magic Weekend.
It was initially expected that Dufty would miss the remainder of the Super League regular season, but an earlier-than-expected return would be a boost for Warrington considering his electric form this season.
The other change to the Wolves squad sees James Harrison come back into contention after two weeks out with a leg injury.
Lachlan Fitzgibbon will serve a one-match ban while Adam Holroyd also drops out of the side.
Huddersfield make four changes to their 21-man squad for the fixture as forwards Chris Hill and Harry Rushton join Adam Milner and Matty English in the treatment room.
Sam Hewitt returns from suspension as Jack Bibby, Jack Billington and Darius Carter come into contention.
Ex-Wigan man Bibby and academy product Carter would make their debuts for Huddersfield if picked.
