Hull FC head coach Brett Hodgson has named his 21-man squad for Friday’s Betfred Super League Round 24 clash against Wakefield Trinity, brought to you in association with Jadan Press.

The Black & Whites host the West Yorkshire side on Friday evening as they look to return to winning ways at the MKM Stadium.

Hodgson has made four changes to the squad that was named ahead of last week’s fixture against St Helens.

Jake Connor and Kane Evans will serve their respective one-match suspensions, while Darnell McIntosh and Jack Walker drop out through injuries sustained in Sunday’s game.

Ligi Sao returns from suspension, while Manu Ma’u is named for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury earlier in the summer.

Young Academy duo Lewis Martin and Kye Armstrong are both called into the squad, the latter being named for the very first time after an impressive season for the loose-forward for the U18s side.

Josh Griffin (quad), Adam Swift (leg), Jack Brown (shoulder), and Cameron Scott (groin) remain on the sidelines, as well as long-term absentees Carlos Tuimavave (Achilles), Andre Savelio (knee) and Joe Cator (Achilles), leaving Hull without eleven first-teamers.
