Salford v Catalans: Squads Announced

Salford and Catalans have both announced their 21-man squads for Monday afternoon’s Super League fixture at the AJ Bell Stadium (KO 3:00pm).

The game was originally scheduled to take place in August but was subsequently postponed as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak at Hull FC.

The Red Devils come into the game on the back of an enforced 24-0 loss to Warrington, after they were unable to compete due to only having 13 available players.

The Dragons, meanwhile, have been out of action since the 9th October, after several positive coronavirus cases saw their games against Hull FC and Warrington called-off.

Mark Flanagan and Jack Ormondroyd return after previously being ruled out through concussion protocol and a positive Covid-19 test respectively. Kris Welham is also recalled, with Oliver Roberts, Tom Gilmore and Olly Ashall-Bott dropping out.
