Wakefield have lifted the suspension on two of the four players stood down a week ago pending the outcome of internal investigations.

Forward Scott Anderson and threequarter Reece Lyne resumed training on Wednesday and look set to return to the Wildcats team for Sunday's final match of the Super 8s Qualifiers against Sheffield Eagles at Bramall Lane.

Full-back Kevin Locke and scrum-half Tim Smith remain suspended and the subject of a police investigation into a car crash in Hull 10 days ago.

Lyne was also thought to have been involved in that incident but it is understood he played only a minor role while Anderson's disciplinary issue was unconnected.

"The investigation into Reece has been concluded," said Wakefield chairman Michael Carter.

"He's been fined for his part in the incident and he's back in the squad. It's pretty much the same with Scott Anderson and he's also training today.

"The other investigation is still ongoing. I was hoping to get it concluded last night but it was not possible."

Smith has been bailed to appear before magistrates later this month charged with driving without due care and attention.
