Liam Sutcliffe and Mitch Garbutt are set to return for Leeds on Friday, but Huddersfield will be without three key starting players.

Brian McDermott has made two changes to his Leeds Rhinos side that knocked Leigh Centurions out of the Challenge Cup last week. Sutcliffe and Garbutt replace injured duo Jimmy Keinhorst and Carl Ablett.

Rhinos hooker Matt Parcell will have to complete the return to play protocol after suffering concussion last Friday, but he is expected at this stage to be involved.

Huddersfield coach Simon Woolford has made three changes to his team that lost to Catalans Dragons in the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup last time out. Michael Lawrence, Innes Senior and Olly Russell come in for Oliver Roberts, Jake Mamo and Danny Brough.

The Super League fixture takes place at Emerald Headingley on Friday, 7:45pm kick-off.

Rhinos 19-man squad:

Ashton Golding, Tom Briscoe, Liam Sutcliffe, Ryan Hall, Richie Myler, Adam Cuthbertson, Matt Parcell, Stevie Ward, Brad Dwyer, Brett Delaney, Mitch Garbutt, Brett Ferres, Ash Handley, Jack Ormondroyd, Jack Walker, Jordan Lilley, Cameron Smith, Mikolaj Oledzki, Josh Walters.
