Squad News: Long -term injuries returnees and possible debutante from Wire 21

Connor Wrench was called for the first time in almost a year in a Warrington Wolves Matchday squad.

The 23-year-old has completed his recovery from his second ACL injury in just as many years, which he suffered on July 5 last year during a home victory against Huddersfield Giants.

During his press conference, head coach Sam Burgess pointed out before the game that it is unlikely this week that the momentum cannot be seen. On the outside, the graduates of the academy are expected to play directly.

There is also a potential senior debut for Center Zack Gardner -the son of Wire's Head of Performance Ade Gardner -after he was also called Burgess '21 -Man -Man squad.

Wing player Matty Ashton became the latest and crushing injury to the wire this week after being excluded for the rest of the 2025 after damaging the ACL and MCL in his right knee during the semi -final victory of the Challenge Cup against Leigh Leopard.

Lachlan Fitzgibbon in the second rower is mentioned in the squad, but is expected to miss the game after he has tightened a rib injury during the same game, while wing players Josh Thewlis is traveling under brain concealing protocol after having not passed an assessment of the head injury.

George Williams (ankle) and Danny Walker (knee) remain absent, while there is no place in the squad for Zane Musgrove, with the props Max Wood moving into the 21.
