Three players who were ruled out of Rhinos’ last game, against Leigh two weeks ago, are in contention for Sunday’s visit of Warrington Wolves.
But a member of that team won’t play again this year and another who had hoped to be available this weekend remains on the sidelines.
Here’s Rhinos’ full injury list and potential return dates.
1. Richie Myler

3. Zane Tetevano
The Cook Islands and former New Zealand Test forward suffered a stroke at training in May. He has undergone surgery to fix a hole in his heart and is hopeful of playing again, but the odds of him playing again this season are lengthening. Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
4. James McDonnell
Second-rower McDonnell was replaced after suffering a back spasm in the first half of last Sunday’s win over Warrington. The injury is not expected to be long-term. Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
5. Justin Sangare
The French prop hobbled out of the defeat by Leigh Leopards on August 4 with his second plantar fascia (foot) injury in three months. He has been ruled out for the rest of this season. Photo: Steve Riding
6. Corey Johnson
The hooker, who has been playing stand-off, limped out of last week’s game with Achilles tendonitis. The club say his injury is “not long-term”. Photo: Olly Hassell/SWpix.com
