Scott Murrell has recovered from a broken hand in time for Hull KR's qualifying play-off against his former employers Leeds Rhinos at Headingley Carnegie on Friday.
The loose forward sustained the injury during Rovers' 40-16 win over Warrington on September 5 but has since returned to training and is included in coach Justin Morgan's initial 19-man squad.
Full-back Shaun Briscoe was also included despite injuring a shoulder in Saturday's 24-10 defeat at Wakefield and will face a late fitness check, while centre Jake Webster is back from a one-match absence with a hamstring problem.
Skipper Kevin Sinfield, Keith Senior and Jamie Jones-Buchanan are all set to return for the Rhinos after missing last Friday's win over Salford.
Sinfield, rested last week after overcoming an injury scare to his cheekbone in the win over St Helens, said: "I'm looking forward to getting back out there on Friday night.
"I don't like missing games but the coaches were keen to give me a rest before the play-offs and hopefully it will stand me in good stead over the coming weeks."
Senior and Jones-Buchanan missed the 30-24 win over the Reds through suspension.
Leeds squad: Webb, Donald, Smith, Senior, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, Peacock, Jones-Buchanan, Lauitiiti, Sinfield, Diskin, Bailey, Kirke, Ablett, Burgess, Worrall, Watkins
Hull KR squad: Briscoe, Fox, Welham, Walker, Colbon, Cooke, Dobson, Vella, Fitzhenry, Wheeldon, Newton, Galea, I'Anson, Netherton, Fozzard, Webster, Fisher, Murrell, Lovegrove
