Warrington Wolves and Huddersfield Giants head coaches Sam Burgess and Luke Robinson have named their 21-man squads for Sunday’s clash at the John Smith’s Stadium. The game will see Burgess come up against his brother Tom, who has been included in the Huddersfield squad and looks set to make his league debut for the club.

Huddersfield are without a number of new additions, though, with Liam Sutcliffe and George King missing out through injury, while Taane Milne is yet to return from Australia. Sam Halsall and Adam Clune are also absent for the Giants.

In more encouraging news, Matty English returns to the Giants’ fold after missing the win at Hunslet in the Cup, while Danny Richardson is also included as he looks to make his first appearance since his loan switch from Hull KR.

Toby King was a doubt for the Wolves this week, but the centre has been named in the squad by Burgess and could be involved. Sam Powell has also been included after going under the knife in the off-season.

Lachlan Fitzgibbon hasn’t made the cut, though. The forward struggled with a troublesome shoulder injury last season and his game time is expected to be managed going forward with Burgess suggesting he could be set to return to the fold next week.

Leon Hayes and Connor Wrench are the only other major absentees for Warrington, due to their respective hamstring and knee issues.

Huddersfield Giants: Jacob Gagai, Adam Swift, Jake Bibby, Tui Lolohea, Oliver Wilson, Zac Woolford, Tom Burgess, Jack Murchie, Sam Hewitt, Harry Rushton, Ashton Golding, Matty English, Joe Greenwood, Fenton Rogers, Elliot Wallis, Leroy Cudjoe, Danny Richardson, Jack Billington, Connor Carr, George Flanagan, Jack Bibby.

Warrington Wolves: Matty Ashton, Jordy Crowther, Ben Currie, Matt Dufty, James Harrison, Adam Holroyd, Toby King, Oli Leyland, Arron Lindop, Zane Musgrove, Joe Philbin, Sam Powell, Stefan Ratchford, Dan Russell, Rodrick Tai, Cai Taylor-Wray, Josh Thewlis, Paul Vaughan, Danny Walker, George Williams, Luke Yates.
