Bradford will be without second rower Jamie Langley and utility back Brett Kearney for Sunday's Carnegie Challenge Cup quarter-final.
Langley has failed to recover from a quad injury sustained in the Bulls' fourth-round win at Dewsbury in April and Kearney is still troubled by a foot problem.
Scrum half Matt Orford, who has missed the last three matches with a shoulder injury, has been named in coach Steve McNamara's 19-man squad.
But with the Australian still rated as doubtful, McNamara has called 19-year-old scrum half Cain Southernwood up as cover and retains another teenager, Danny Addy, who made his Super League debut in Sunday's 26-12 defeat by Leeds.
Bradford will also be without former Warrington winger Stuart Reardon, who has a hamstring injury, and has been replaced in the initial squad by Joe Wardle.
Tough test
Warrington will have Mickey Higham back after the hooker missed Sunday's 36-20 win over Huddersfield with a head injury.
Wolves boss Tony Smith is expecting a tough test for the cup holders. "Anything can happen in any week and we will certainly not be taking anything for granted," he told the Wolves official website.
"Bradford are a very good, tough team and they've played well so far this season and on a pretty consistent basis. We're expecting a tough game and I have no doubt that they will be closer to full strength this week.
"But when we are on our form we can be tough to beat ourselves so we will take a look at them and make sure we are ready for what they will throw at us."
Bradford Bulls squad: Addy, Halley, L'Estrange, Hall, Scruton, Sheriffe, Lynch, Southernwood, Kopczak, Sykes, Menzies, Wardle, Godwin, Nero, Platt, Whitehead, Worrincy, Orford, Donaldson.
Warrington Wolves squad: L Anderson, V Anderson, Atkins, Bridge, Briers, Cooper, Grix, Harrison, Hicks, Higham, King, Mathers, Mitchell, Monaghan, Morley, Riley, Solomona, Westwood, Wood.
