Coach Rohan Smith is hopeful back injury victims David Fusitu’a and James McDonnell will return to the side at MKM Stadium, but that leaves eight players unavailable.
Here’s the latest casualty list and when players might return.
1. Richie Myler
The full-back suffered a stress fracture in a foot during the 22-18 loss at St Helens on July 28. With Rhinos now unlikely to qualify for the play-offs, his season appears to be over. Photo: Paul Currie/SWpix.com
2. Nene MacDonald
The Papua New Guinea star missed last Sunday's game because of paternity leave. A club statement on Friday confirmed: "Nene Macdonald has remained in Australia following the birth of his child this week. The centre had been due to return this week and was included in the Rhinos initial 21 man squad to play Hull FC on Saturday afternoon. There will be no additions to the squad."

3. Aidan Sezer
Scrum-half Sezer was concussed in training this week, ruling him out of Saturday’s game. The Aussie, who missed last year’s Grand Final because of concussion, could also be a doubt for next weekend’s visit of Wigan Warriors. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
4. Zane Tetevano
The Cook Islands and former New Zealand Test forward suffered a stroke at training in May. He underwent surgery to fix a hole in his heart and was playing again this year, but that now seems unlikely. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
5. James Bentley
The second-rower is also going through the concussion protocol after being knocked out early in last Sunday’s game at Huddersfield. He is part-way through a mandatory 11-day stand down, but coach Rohan Smith has indicated he could also miss the clash with Wigan. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
6. 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 is in a protective boot and has been ruled out for the rest of this season. Photo: Ed Sykes/SWpix.com
