21-man squad vs Warrington
- Adrian Lam names 21-man squad to face Warrington Wolves in the Betfred Super League.
- Five changes feature Brad Singleton’s first inclusion.
- Warrington Wolves vs Wigan Warriors, Friday 9th October, Emerald Headingley Stadium, K.O. 7:45pm.
Adrian Lam has named the 21-man Wigan Warriors squad to face Warrington Wolves this Friday in Round 15 of the Betfred Super League (K.O. 7:45pm).
The Cherry and Whites will look to bounce back from last weekend’s Coral Challenge Cup defeat when they take on Steve Price’s men at Emerald Headingley Stadium.
The Warriors Head Coach has made five changes from the side that faced Leeds Rhinos.
Recent signing Brad Singleton features for the first time since his arrival in September and could make his debut on Friday night.
Second-row Morgan Smithies returns for selection after serving his sixth and final match ban received for two separate incidents during Wigan’s win over Castleford in Round 10.
Following the news that two Wigan players had tested positive for Covid-19 (learn more HERE), a third unnamed player has also been ruled out following the results of a positive test.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday morning, Lam confirmed the result, saying: “This third positive test was not a part of the team last weekend and has been isolating away from the squad.”
All three players who tested positive are currently self-isolating and have no contact with the rest of the Wigan squad.
Injury List
Youngster Ethan Havard misses out with an ankle injury picked up against Leeds Rhinos last weekend.
Experienced prop-forwards George Burgess and Tony Clubb miss out as they recover from their respective hip and neck issues.
Following his suspected injury against St Helens last week, back-rower Jack Wells is expected to be unavailable for up to three months with a MCL tear and knee dislocation.
