Cai Taylor-Wray will play his first game for Warrington Wolves since April with his return against York Knights confirmed by head coach Sam Burgess, who offered a comprehensive injury update.<\/p>\n
Taylor-Wray, who last played in round nine, has been named to the 21-man squad for the past two weeks but not featured. After being named to the 21-man squad for Saturday\u2019s game<\/a> against Castleford Tigers, Burgess has given the full-back the green light.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019ll play this week. He\u2019s back in the team this week,\u201d Burgess said in his pre-match media, shared by BBC Radio Merseyside<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s taken 14 weeks for me to say that, but yeah, he\u2019ll play this week. It\u2019ll be good to see him back.\u201d<\/p>\n As for expectations, Burgess admitted: \u201cAgain, he\u2019s been out of the team for a while and he\u2019s not played, so we\u2019re not expecting him to be perfect, but we\u2019re expecting him to build his game now. There\u2019s enough time to get himself back in that position he was at the start of the year and he deserves to have a run at it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a tough road for him. Frustrating, so we\u2019re grateful to see him back\u2026 He got himself in a good position, had a good year, and then picked up a few niggles. This one\u2019s just taken a long time to recover, which has been frustrating.\u201d<\/p>\n St Helens in crisis, Rowley exit reaction and debating Super League\u2019s best-ever overseas player \u2013 Click here to watch the latest episode of the Serious About Rugby League Show!<\/a><\/p>\n Most Read on Serious About Rugby League<\/p>\n Warrington Wolves captain George Williams nears return<\/p>\n A player who has had an even longer recovery and still is not back playing is George Williams with the playmaker having undergone surgery on his neck<\/a>, something that could have ruled him out for the season.<\/p>\n However, Wire have now shared an image of Williams back in training and Burgess confirmed that an update could come very soon.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve seen him out training then and he looks sharp as,\u201d the Wire boss said.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s just got to get the green light from the surgeons ad the consultants, I think that\u2019s either today or tomorrow and then we\u2019ll start grading him up.\u201d<\/p>\n That will be a massive boost for the Wolves, who have not had Williams available since round eight when he scored a try in the loss to Catalans Dragons.<\/p>\n Another positive injury update from Burgess saw him confirmed that second-rower Kelepi Tanginoa, who pulled out in the warm-up last week<\/a> and dropped out of the 21-man squad this week, shouldn\u2019t be a long-term loss.<\/p>\n Burgess said: \u201cKelepi\u2019s okay. He\u2019s had a grumbly knee for a little while now and it probably just got too inflamed.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s got a further appointment tomorrow. We probably might see him next week. It\u2019s something now, considering there\u2019s only eight or nine weeks left to the end of the season. It\u2019s something we\u2019re capable of managing and they\u2019ll probably take care of it in the off-season.\u201d<\/p>\n Burgess admitted: \u201cHe probably could play at a push. He did all the training last week, completed every session. So, then just a bit of a flare-up and warm-up, and he didn\u2019t want to let the team down so I appreciated his honesty.\u201d<\/p>\n He added that the club will now map out the final run-in to best utilise the second-rower, who scored four in the home fixture against Saturday\u2019s opponents Castleford.<\/p>\n Great to see you back out there, George \ud83e\udee1 pic.twitter.com\/S7RPVO5M9y<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Warrington Wolves (@WarringtonRLFC) July 30, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1783977013_96_srl-logo.png\"\/){kind=logo}
