Workington prop Latu Fifita’s recovery has been put back by a week with a knee injury.
The front-rower is recovering from a torn Achilles tendon he sustained last year, and during his rehab he has damaged some cartilage in his knee that was due to be cleaned out on Saturday.
Town coach Phil Veivers said: “He was around four weeks away and that will make it five – the poor kid has just had a really unlucky 18 months.”
Callum Phillips is fit again following a muscular neck complaint, and Veivers is hoping he will be joined shortly by Alex Szostak (knee).
