Surgery rules Australian out
Huddersfield forward John Skandalis is likely to miss the rest of the Super League campaign with a knee injury.
The 32-year-old prop sustained the injury in training and underwent surgery on Monday.
"It really isn't looking very good for John," said joint caretaker coach Keiron Purtill.
"We're waiting for the specialist to get back to us so we know exactly how much damage there is but he has already been told it's highly unlikely he'll play again this season."
The Giants are also without front row Eorl Crabtree for up to a month with a fractured finger, but are hoping to have Paul Jackson available to take his place against Bradford on Sunday.
Captain Chris Thorman has also declared himself fit after missing the last two games with an ankle injury while stand-off Kevin Brown is available after completing a two-match ban.
