Akauola returns for Wolves

SITALEKI Akauola returns from suspension to stake his claim for a Wembley place as Warrington Wolves travel to Catalans Dragons this weekend.

The Wolves are in need of two points with Hull breathing down their necks ahead of their game against Wigan this evening (Thursday).

Akauola has sat out the last two games with a ban, including the Challenge Cup semi-final win over Hull.

Winger Josh Charnley is unavailable, having been a late withdrawal for last weekend through injury, which prompted the early return from injury of Stefan Ratchford, who is included in the 19-man squad this time.

Prop Lama Tasi, young hooker Danny Walker and Luis Johnson, who was recently recalled from a loan spell at Hull KR, are also left out.

Warrington 19-man squad: Akauola, Austin, Burrell, D Clark, J Clark, Cooper, Currie, Davis, Goodwin, Hill, Hughes, T King, Lineham, Livett, Mamo, Murdoch-Masila, Patton, Philbin, Ratchford.
