Winger Ash Handley and hooker/stand-off Corey Johnson have been named in Rhinos initial 21 after injury, but a new name was added to the casualty list during last week’s win at Hull FC.
Here’s who’s unavailable for Betfred Super League round 25.
1. Richie Myler
The full-back suffered a stress fracture in a foot during the 22-18 loss at St Helens on July 28 and isn’t expected to play again in the regular season. Photo: Ed Sykes/SWpix.com
2. Nene Macdonald
It appears the centre/winger’s time at Rhinos is over after he failed to return from paternity leave in Australia. He has been selected for a Papua New Guinea representative side to play in Port Moresby next weekend. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
3. Aidan Sezer
Sezer could also have played his last game for Leeds. The scrum-half, who will join Wests Tigers next year, was concussed in training before the match at Hull on September 3 and is on a 28-day return to play protocol. Photo: Steve Riding
4. James Bentley

5. Justin Sangare
The French prop hobbled out of the defeat by Leigh Leopards on August 4 with his second plantar fascia injury in three months, bringing his season to an early end. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
6. Sam Walters
A one-match penalty notice, for dangerous contact against Wigan last week, rules the forward out of Saturday’s game in France. Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
