Hull FC and Wakefield have both announced their 21-man squads for Thursday evening’s fixture at the Totally Wicked Stadium (KO 6:00pm).
Trinity return to action after their game against Leeds was postponed last week following the news that two Wakefield players had tested positive for Covid-19.
Every player from the club has since returned a negative test, meaning they are safe to return to action this week.
Hull, meanwhile, have still only registered one win from three games since the restart, suffering a 37-12 defeat to Warrington last Friday.
