Adam Keighran makes his return to Wigan Warriors action this afternoon as the Cherry and Whites take on Hull FC at the MKM Stadium.
Keighran has missed the last six weeks of action since picking up a knee injury in the Challenge Cup loss to the Black and Whites last month. However, he returns to the fold this afternoon against John Cartwright’s side, with Matt Peet making two changes to his matchday squad.
Luke Thompson also returns to action after a short injury lay-off. The prop starts on the bench for Wigan with Peet opting for Liam Byrne and Sam Walters from the start up front. Zach Eckersley drops to the bench, with Tyler Dupree and Tom Forber dropping out of the fold.
Cartwright has kept changes to a minimum, too, making just two changes to his side. Harvey Barron comes back into the side after struggling with a hamstring problem and that comes as a big boost for the Black and Whites.
He starts on the wing, while Matty Laidlaw comes onto the bench. Ed Chamberlain was an injury doubt heading this one, but he’s named on the bench. Jordan Rapana and Sam Eseh drop out of the fold with the Wigan loanee being ineligible, while Rapana has picked up a groin injury.
