Leeds captain Danny McGuire is set to return for the Super League champions against St Helens on Friday.

The veteran half-back has led the Rhinos only once in Super League since inheriting the captain's armband from Kevin Sinfield after sustaining a knee injury in the opening game against Warrington.

Leeds have won only once in the absence of McGuire but he has been included in coach Brian McDermott's 19-man squad for the visit of Saints, along with Joel Moon, Carl Ablett and Brett Delaney.

Ablett has not played since damaging an ankle in round two while Moon and Delaney missed last week's defeat at Wigan with hamstring injuries.
