Catalan Dragons will be without a number of key players for the visit of Wigan on Saturday.
Cyril Stacul, Remi Casty, Ben Farrar, Vincent Duport and Cyrille Gossard are all still sidelined for the Dragons, while Thomas Bosc has been omitted again.
Bosc missed the game against Wakefield last time out and he still lacks match-fitness after a long spell out.
The France side will be buoyed by the return of veteran Steve Menzies.
Sidelined
Wigan have injury issues of their own, with prop Andy Coley set to miss the trip to Montpellier.
Coley has been sidelined after a minor knee operation but Stefan Marsh and Harrison Hansen are available.
And coach Michael Maguire is expecting a testing encounter, telling the club's official website: "The last couple of weeks they have been able to get some players back in the side, we are expecting a very tough encounter, we are looking to play the way we can which we didn't do in the fixture at the DW. I think we have improved since the last meeting with them.
"We are looking forward to spending some time together over the next few days as a group, this is a good opportunity where we get away but we also know we have an important job to do on Saturday with the game
"They are a team that will chance their hand and throw the ball around, we need to make sure we are ready."
