Hull FC half-back Jake Arthur.
Hull FC will be without Jake Arthur against Hull KR this Good Friday. The half-back has picked up a calf injury in training this week and is ruled out of the 250th derby.
However, John Cartwright welcomes back three players into his matchday side, with Aidan Sezer returning after a pec injury. He is joined by Joe Batchelor, fit again after a calf strain, and Cade Cust, who returns from a one-match suspension. Amir Bourouh is fit after picking a groin issue last week.
At full-back, Logan Moy keeps his spot after a first appearance of the season last week. On the wings, Tom Briscoe and Lewis Martin are named again with Arthur Romano and Davy Litten in the centres. Zak Hardaker lines up in the halves again alongside Sezer.
Up front, Ligi Sao and Harvie Hill start at prop with Bourouh at hooker. Batchelor and James Bell are in the back row with John Asiata at loose forward.
Cust is joined on the bench by Sam Lisone, Connor Bailey, and Matty Laidlaw. Callum Kemp is the 18th man.
