Friday’s visitors to AMT Headingley will be without at least seven senior players and have doubts over several more. Rhinos came through last weekend’s extra-time win at London Broncos with no major new concerns and could welcome back pack leader Mikolaj Oledzki after a four-game layoff. Only three of their top-20 players are unavailable. Here’s who will definitely miss Rhinos’ final home game of the campaign, on both sides and when they could be back on the field.

10. Max Simpson (Rhinos)
The 20-year-old centre has not played since suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in January last year. He is set for more surgery and will miss the entire campaign for a second successive season, but Leeds hope to have him back on the field in 2025. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
11. Nick Staveley (Hull)
The back-rower ruptured anterior cruciate ligaments in training ahead of the Easter derby at Hull KR. The knee damage means he won't play again this year. Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
12. Liam Sutcliffe (Hull)
The former Rhinos centre's season ended when he suffered a fracture and ligament damage to a foot against Catalans Dragons in July. He is out of contract in the autumn so could have played his final game for the club. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
