Multiple changes made as Wakefield Trinity 21-man squad named for York Knights game
Boss Daryl Powell has made five changes to Wakefield Trinity’s squad for Saturday’s visit of York Knights.
Tom Johnstone (knee), Mason Lino (calf muscle), Jay Pitts (biceps) and Isaiah Vagana (shoulder) all return to Trinity’s squad after injury and Jazz Tevaga is available following a one-match ban. But Wakefield, who have lost their last three games, are without Oliver Pratt, Matty Storton and Tray Lolesio who were all hurt during last Friday’s defeat at Wigan Warriors.
Emre Guler, who made his debut as a substitute in that game, drops out of the 21,along with Kian McGann who didn’t play. York boss Mark Applegarth, who is a former Wakefield coach, has made one change to the 21 named ahead of last Sunday’s 66-16 loss to Leeds Rhinos.
