Tom Briscoe named in Leeds Rhinos squad for Catalans Dragons showdown
Winger Tom Briscoe could make his return from a knee injury when Leeds Rhinos face Catalans Dragons in Perpignan on Saturday.
Briscoe has been included in Rhinos' initial 21-man squad for the first time since rupturing an anterior cruciate ligament in a 44-0 win at Huddersfield Giants on August 2 last year.
He replaces Liam Sutcliffe in the only change to the squad named before last week's win over Toronto Wolfpack.
Liam Sutcliffe did not feature in that game, but suffered a recurrence of a knee problem playing on dual-registration for Featherstone Rovers three days later.
The other players vying for a call-up are Alex Sutcliffe, Tom Holroyd and Joe Greenwood.
Holroyd and Alex Sutcliffe also played for Rovers last week.
Greenwood is still waiting for his Rhinos debut, two weeks after joining them on loan from Wigan Warriors.
Leeds Rhinos' 21-man squad is: T Briscoe, Newman, Hurrell, Handley, Lui, Gale, Seumanufagai, Prior, Mellor, Martin, Dwyer, Myler, Cuthbertson, Oledzki, Smith, McLelland, L Briscoe, Donaldson, A Sutcliffe, Holroyd, Greenwood.
Catalans Dragons' initial squad is: Mead, Tierney, Langi, Folau, Yaha, Maloney, Drinkwater, Casty, McIlorum, Whitley, J Tomkins, Garcia, Bousquet, Simon, Da Costa, Albert, Seguier, Maria, Baitieri, Mourgue, Kasiano.
