Catalans have been forced to make four changes ahead of Friday’s trip to Leeds.

The Dragons will be without suspended duo Sam Tomkins and Micky McIlorum, while Samisoni Langi and Fouad Yaha will miss out through injury.

Lewis Tierney, Ben Jullien, Lambert Belmas and Lucas Albert return for Steve McNamara’s side.

Leeds interim coach Richard Agar has made just one change to his outfit that thrashed Huddersfield last time out. Luke Briscoe comes in for his brother Tom, who has been ruled out for the season with an ACL knee injury.
