Latest Leigh Leopards v Leeds Rhinos Super League team news and 21-man squads

Prop Mikolaj Oledzki returns to the mix after missing two games because of a damaged shoulder and winger Derrell Olpherts has been named in Rhinos’ initial 21 for the first time this year, following a hip injury. Half-back Jack Sinfield, full-back Alfied Edgell and prop Tom Nicholson-Watton retain their place in the initial squad after not playing last weekend, but James Bentley drops out as he serves a one-match ban. Fellow forwards Sam Lisone and James Donaldson are still suspended and winger David Fusitu’a (knee) and second-row Morgan Gannon (head) remain on the casualty list.

Leigh are without former Rhinos winger Tom Briscoe who suffered a calf muscle tear in last Friday’s defeat at St Helens. Loose-forward John Asiata is sidelined by a similar problem from the same game, but prop Tom Amone returns after a one-match ban. Other players vying for a call into Leopards’ 17 are centre/winger Ed Chamberlain, second-row Oliver Holmes, half-back Ben McNamara, full-back Umyla Hanley and forward Jacob Gannon.
