Leeds Rhinos coach Lois Forsell has named an initial 19-player squad for Sunday’s Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup semi-final against Wigan Warriors.

The tie will be played at Headingley as the first part of a double-header with the men’s semi-final between Wigan and Hull KR.

Rhinos are without winger Sophie Nuttall who failed a head injury assessment during last Sunday’s 12-12 Super League draw at York Valkyrie.

Sam Hulme, Beth Lockwood and Tara Moxon are in contention after not featuring against York.

Keara Bennett and Kaiya Glynn, who were both handed a two-match penalty notice for a grade D dangerous throw in last weekend’s game, are included in Rhinos’ squad.

They will begin their ban, keeping them out of the final at Wembley on August 12 if Rhinos win on Sunday, next week.

Rhinos have until Monday to lodge an appeal, which would be heard by a disciplinary tribunal the following day.
