Hull KR head coach Chris Chester admits his side "are light on numbers" ahead of Sunday's Super League trip to Warrington.
The Robins are without the suspended John Boudebza, who starts a four-game ban for the tackle that ended Michael Shenton's season, while winger Josh Mantellato misses out after tearing the retina in his eye when scoring his last-minute try against Castleford.
Matty Marsh is also unavailable with James Greenwood facing a late fitness test after leaving the field against the Tigers with concussion.
Centre Liam Salter and prop Adam Walker are recalled and there is a place in the squad for Stephen Holker.
"We've got to focus on the positives and this is an opportunity for some of the younger players in the team to step up and take their chance," said Chester.
"We should have a number of players ready to come back into the side in the next three to four weeks but the younger blokes have an opportunity in the meantime to show what they can do.
"We still have a strong side to put out against the Wolves on Sunday and it's important that we go there with the right attitude and ready to perform.
"We're facing a bit of adversity as a squad but we need to stick together as a unit and embrace the challenge."
Warrington have centre Ryan Atkins back from injury, which enables Ben Currie to revert to the second row.
Prop Jordan Cox will make his home debut against his old club.
Hull KR: Mitch Allgood, Maurice Blair, Chris Clarkson, Ben Cockayne, Kieran Dixon, James Donaldson, James Green, James Greenwood, Stephen Holker, Graeme Horne, Albert Kelly, George Lawler, Thomas Minns, Robbie Mulhern, Liam Salter, Ken Sio, Iain Thornley, Dane Tilse, Adam Walker.
Warrington Wolves: Ryan Atkins, Daryl Clark, Ben Currie, Jordan Cox, Brad Dwyer, Rhys Evans, Kurt Gidley, Chris Hill, Jack Hughes, Benjamin Jullien, George King, Tom Lineham, Kevin Penny, Matty Russell, Chris Sandow, Ashton Sims, Joe Westerman, Bennie Westwood, Gary Wheeler.
