Hull FC have been boosted by the return of star full-back Jake Connor for their visit of an unchanged Salford side this weekend. 

Brett Hodgson has made three changes to his Hull squad that lost 38-6 to champions St Helens last Saturday. Jake Connor has served his one-match suspension and returns to the squad.

The Black and Whites will also welcome back centre Carlos Tuimavave (hamstring) and prop Josh Bowden (thigh) from their respective injuries.

Youngsters Charlie Severs and Marcus Walker drop out of the squad alongside captain Luke Gale, who starts the first of a five-match suspension.

Forwards Andre Savelio and Kane Evans are both unavailable as they serve the final match of their suspensions.
