Winter signing Evan Simons returns to the Workington Town squad for the home game against Sheffield Eagles.
Simons missed out against Featherstone and Dewsbury after picking up a two-match suspension.
Town do still have injury issues, however, although there was at least some good news regarding former Egremont forward Matty Henson.
He has been out with an ankle problem but was told this week that he will not need an operation and will be doing rehab to get himself back to fitness.
Ex-Millom and Egremont forward Marcus O’Brien is also side-lined while he waits for a scan on his shoulder /collar bone issue which kept him out of last week’s Challenge Cup win over Dewsbury.
Prop Jake Lightowler, who suffered a knee injury against Featherstone, continues to miss out while David Weetman and Stevie Scholey remain out as they continue their rehabilitation from injuries sustained in 2021.
The squad is: Barnes, Bickerdike, Brown, Clarke, Clegg, Dawson, Doran, Fitzsimmons, Forber, Hutchings, O’Donnell, Olstrom, Postlethwaite, Simons, Singleton, Steele, Teare, Thomas, Thomson, Walker, Young.
Sheffield have to make one change from the squad which survived a scare to eventually win 40-20 in the Challenge Cup last week against Hunslet Club Parkside.
Experienced full-back Josh Guzdek, 26, who joined the Eagles in 2019 from Dewsbury, misses out with injury.
Mark Aston’s squad is: Jones-Bishop, Bower, Oakes, Bass, I. Farrell, Thackeray, Douglas, Dickinson, L. Johnson, J. Farrell, Hodgson, Halafihi, Wood, Broadbent, Kirk, Reilly, Welham, R. Johnson, Chrimes, Liu, Wallis.
