St Helens fullback Jack Welsby is included in St Helens initial squad to face Huddersfield Giants on Sunday afternoon. Here is all the squad news ahead of the clash at the Totally Wicked Stadium.
The game, which will be shown live on BBC2, could see Saints enter to the top three in the league, should results go their way from teams around them.
Huddersfield’s season has been over for a while, however with two wins in a row against Hull FC and Catalans, Luke Robinson’s men will be full of confidence as they look to finish their season on a high.
Here is the all-important squad news for the matchup:
St Helens Squad News:
The biggest news from the squads is that star fullback Welsby has been named in the side for the first time since his injury at the end of May.
In what is a huge boost for both St Helens and England, the 24-year-old has arrived back from injury ahead of schedule and could feature as early as Sunday afternoon.
He is joined by Deon Cross, who hasn’t played for the first team since the end of June, but turned out for Saints’ reserve side earlier this week, so he is not expected to play at the weekend.
The pair replace forwards Curtis Sironen and Jake Wingfield, who have both suffered injuries in the win over Wakefield. Sironen failed a HIA, whilst Wingfield requires surgery for a syndesmosis injury.
St Helens 21-man squad: 1. Jack Welsby, 2. Kyle Feldt, 4. Mark Percival, 6. Tristan Sailor, 7. Jonny Lomax, 8. Alex Walmsley, 9. Daryl Clark, 10. Matty Lees, 12. Joe Batchelor, 13.
