Harlequins welcome back experienced prop Karl Temata for their engage Super League clash against Salford on Sunday.
Temata, making his comeback from a hamstring injury, provides a much-needed boost to the injury-hit Londoners alongside stand-off Danny Orr, who also returns to the line-up.
The club are still without six regular players, however, as they look to bounce back from their humiliating 62-4 thrashing at Leeds last time out.
Kyle Bibb, who is on loan from Wakefield Wildcats, is set to make his home debut after being named in coach Brian McDermott's 19-man squad.
Also set for his first Twickenham Stoop outing is half-back or hooker Martyn Smith, who made his Super League debut against Hull last month.
Salford, meanwhile, are set to give forward Lee Jewitt his first outing of the campaign in place of Ian Sibbit.
Second-rower Sibbit is sidelined after rolling an ankle during his team's 24-12 home defeat at the hands of Catalans Dragons last Friday.
Reds coach Shaun McRae is still deciding whether to recall scrum-half Matty Smith to the line-up after a two-match absence.
The Reds, sitting bottom of the Super League table, are still chasing their first win of the season after falling to five consecutive defeats in their opening fixtures.
Harlequins squad: Bibb, Bolger, Bryan, Clubb, Golden, Howell, Jones-Bishop, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Melling, O'Callaghan, Orr, Randall, Sharp, Smith, Temata, Ward, Wilkes, Williams, Williamson
Salford squad: Fitzpatrick, Broughton, Henry, Talau, Gibson, Ratchford, J. Smith, Sidlow, Alker, Parker, Jewitt, Adamson, Swain, M. Smith, Littler, Leuluai, Tyrer, Holdsworth, Boyle
