Both sides have been hit by injuries, with Wolves picking up three casualties – including one who will miss the rest of this season – from their win over Huddersfield Giants last Friday. Leeds will be without two of their 17 on duty in the extra-time victory against London Broncos the following day. Here’s who is definitely unavailable for the HJ Stadium showdown and when they could be back in action.
