Winger Ash Handley has been named in Rhinos’ initial squad, but remains a doubt because of the rib injury suffered against Huddersfield Giants two weeks ago. Leeds picked up one new casualty during last Sunday’s win at Hull FC and most of their woes are in the three-quarters. Here’s who is definitely missing and when they could be back.

It is not believed to be a long-term injury and coach Rohan Smith said: “Harry has had an epidural in his back which has settled down well. He is getting around much better, but hasn’t done any full training as yet." Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
