Andy Last has made three changes to his Hull FC 21-man squad ahead of Thursday’s Super League game against York Knights.
The Black and Whites are boosted by the return of Ethan O’Neill, who will continue his loan spell at the club from Leeds Rhinos. The back rower or centre has overcome a recent hamstring injury and is fit enough to be named in the squad.
Elsewhere, Harvey Barron is back after passing the necessary return to play protocols after a failed HIA. He missed Saturday’s Magic Weekend derby against Hull KR after copping the blow in the Wigan game.
Yusuf Aydin is also included again after serving his six-match suspension. The forward has been out since copping his red card at Bradford Bulls back in May.
The trio replace Jeremaiah Mata’utia, who has been recalled by Leeds, Davy Litten, who failed a HIA against Rovers, and young hooker Will Hutchinson.
Elsewhere, Lennon Clark keeps his place after making his first senior start in the derby. Cade Cust and James Bell also hold their spots after their returns last week.
Litten is one of 10 players still out injured for Hull, with the Black and Whites also missing Will Pryce (ACL), John Asiata (hamstring), Sam Lisone (pec), Ligi Sao (shoulder), Connor Bailey (collarbone), Arthur Romano (ankle), Brad Fash (knee), Will Kirby (ACL), and Joe Ward (ACL).
Roman Dawson has also completed his recent suspension and is available again.
