Wakefield will be boosted by the return of centre Chris Dean when they host Catalan Dragons on Sunday.
Dean, who has scored five tries in his last seven matches, missed out on last weekend's Challenge Cup derby defeat to Castleford with a wrist injury.
Liam Higgins and Tyrone McCarthy also come back into John Kear's 19-man squad after being cup-tied last time out.
Hooker Julien Rinaldi is not available, however, after picking up a shoulder injury two weeks ago. He played with a pain-killing injection against the Tigers but will not be risked this time.
New signing Jarrad Hickey has finally arrived in the UK but will play no part on Sunday, instead having to wait until next Friday's clash with Salford to make his debut.
Clint Greenshields is set to play for Catalan for the first time since the start of April as the Australian full-back has recovered from a dislocated elbow.
The French outfit are still feeling the effects of a lengthy injury list, however, with Cyril Stacul becoming the latest victim after breaking his ankle against Huddersfield in the Challenge Cup.
The Dragons were on a seven match unbeaten run but before a heavy defeat to Leeds two weeks ago, which they followed with the cup defeat to the Giants.
Wakefield squad: Blaymire, Murphy, Korkidas, King, Henderson, Morrison, Lee, P. Johnson, Dean, Morton, Mariano, Howarth, Veivers, Davey, Higgins, Wildie, G. Johnson, Amor, McCarthy.
Catalan squad: Greenshields, Blanch, Sa, Dureau, Ferriol, Henderson, Raguin, Mounis, Baile, Millard, Vaccari, Simon, Martins, Fakir, Paea, Baitieri, Pelissier, Pala, Touxagas.
