Hull FC have named an unchanged 21-man squad ahead of Saturday’s Challenge Cup tie at Leigh Leopards. The Black and Whites head over the Pennines to take on the Leythers in the last 16 clash, with no changes made to the extended squad.
That will see the likes of Aidan Sezer paired together with Jake Arthur in the halves, with John Asiata set for another start and more minutes in what will be his third game back after a six month lay off.
Elsewhere, James Bell is poised to make his second appearance after his club debut last week. The likes of Davy Litten and Zak Hardaker are also included.
With no games for Championship outfits Halifax Panthers and Hunslet this weekend, Logan Moy and Matty Laidlaw are both included and keep their spots. They both featured on loan in the second tier last week. Young pair Callum Kemp and Will Kirby are also named.
On the injury front, Hull remain without Harvey Barron (ankle), Herman Ese’ese (Achilles), Jed Cartwright (hamstring), Joe Batchelor (calf), Ryan Westerman (ankle), and Roman Dawson (ACL). Will Pryce and Joe Ward are out for the season with ACL injuries, with a full injury update provided here.
