Warrington Wolves vs Hull FC: Team news, injuries and TV channel as Thomas Mikaele set for last appearance

WARRINGTON WOLVES host Hull FC on Saturday afternoon at the MKM Stadium, a game that will be live on Channel 4.

Warrington are currently unbeaten with Daryl Powell’s men casting aside all and sundry in their race to the top of the Super League table.

Hull, meanwhile, are in disarray following four losses in a row, with the Black and Whites’ latest loss coming at home against Leigh Leopards last weekend.

Team news and injuries

This is likely to be Thomas Mikaele’s last game in a Warrington shirt, with the prop set to return home in the near future. Josh Thewlis could be back for Warrington, but will he displace an in-form Matty Russell? Josh Drinkwater is also expected to be back after missing last week’s win.

Hull are set to be without halfback Ben McNamara for a longer period of time after a training problem, whilst Ligi Sao is banned and Cam Scott injured. Jordan Lane and Nick Staveley come in.
