Last Updated: 08/05/15 4:48pm
Leeds will give a late fitness test to Kylie Leuluai ahead of Sunday’s Super League clash with Widnes Vikings at the Select Security Stadium.
The veteran prop has been out of action since suffering a bicep injury against Warrington in March, while he also underwent shoulder surgery during his time on the sidelines.
The Rhinos welcome back second rower Josh Walters into their 19-man squad, with Jamie Jones-Buchanan and Rob Mulhern dropping out of the side that drew with Huddersfield last week.
Widnes recall back-row forward Magraff Leuluai, cousin of Kylie, in place of the injured Danny Tickle, while winger Patrick Ah and prop Van Gil Dudson are also back in contention after being added to the side that lost at Warrington.
Widnes Vikings: Patrick Ah Van, Kevin Brown, Chris Clarkson, Chris Dean, Gil Dudson, Paddy Flynn, Danny Galea, Alex Gerrard, Rhys Hanbury, Aaron Heremaia, Willie Isa, Phil Joseph, Macgraff Leuluai, Manase Manuokafoa, Stefan Marsh, Joe Mellor, Jack Owens, Lloyd White, Matt Whitley.
Leeds Rhinos: Zak Hardaker, Kallum Watkins, Joel Moon, Danny McGuire, Rob Burrow, Kylie Leuluai, Paul Aiton, Jamie Peacock, Carl Ablett, Kevin Sinfield (c), Stevie Ward, Brett Delaney, Mitch Achurch, Adam Cuthbertson, Liam Sutcliffe, Brad Singleton, Jimmy Keinhorst, Josh Walters, Ash Handley.
