Wakefield coach John Kear has turned to youth ahead of his injury-hit side's Super League showdown with Huddersfield on Sunday.
Kear has included 19-year-old half-back Matty Wildie, prop Ben Gledhill, utility back Kieran Hyde and hooker James Davey, all 20, in his 19 man squad for the Wildcats visit to the Galpharm Stadium.
Full-back Matt Blaymire and back row forward Paul Johnson have also been included after recovering from injury.
But half-back pair Sam Obst (ankle) and Paul Cooke (knee) together with prop Paul King (ankle) have been ruled out of the game.
"Cometh the hour, cometh the youngsters", said Wildcats Head Coach John Kear, announcing the squad on the club's website.
Confidence
"These young players are all part of our Super League squad at Belle Vue and I have every confidence that they will acquit themselves well at the Giants."
Scrum-half Luke Robinson returns for the Giants after missing last weekend's 40-4 demolition of Harlequins.
Youngster Jamie Cording, who has also been named in Nathan Brown's 19, is set to make his Huddersfield debut if he plays, while Brad Drew will be making his 100th appearance for the Giants if selected.
Brett Hodgson, Jamahl Lolesi, Keith Mason and Andy Raleigh are all reported to be at least a week away from fitness.
Huddersfield squad: Cudjoe, D. Hodgson, Brown, Robinson, Crabtree, Lunt, Gilmour, Wild, Finnigan, D. Griffin, Drew, Lawrence, Faiumu, Grix, Patrick, McGillvary, Horne, Brough, Cording.
Wakefield squad: Blaymire, Blanch, Gleeson, Millard, Jeffries, Korkidas, Morrison, Demetriou, Johnson, Henderson, Leo-Latu, Davey, Wildie, Moore, Gledhill, Kirmond, Hyde, Leaeno, Rinaldi.
