Stanley Gene returns from a rib injury to reclaim his place in Justin Morgan's squad for the visit of Wakefield Wildcats to Craven Park on Sunday.
Ben Cockayne is the man to miss out from the initial 19-man squad, while Chaz I'Anson is expected to continue alongside Michael Dobson after impressing in the 19-18 win over St Helens last time out.
Morgan is again without influential stand-off Paul Cooke and club captain Mick Vella but his side has still made a fine start to the season.
The Robins went down to champions Leeds Rhinos in their only Super League XIV defeat to date, but Wakefield represent somewhat of a bogey team.
The West Yorkshire side have been victorious on each of the last three occasions that the two sides have met.
Injuries
John Kear's Wildcats have made an equally impressive start to the new campaign following wins against Warrington, Salford and Wigan.
Matt Blaymire, Dale Ferguson, Luke George and David Halley all plundered tries in the 48-22 victory over Wolves last time out and the Wildcats top the scoring charts despite their injury problems.
Wakefield are still without eight first team players including playmakers Danny Brough, Jamie Rooney and Sam Obst and there are two changes made to the 19-man squad.
Obst and James Stosic drop out to be replaced by Luke Blake and James Davey as the Wildcats look to make it three wins on the trot since their only defeat of the season to Leeds.
Hull KR squad: Briscoe, Fox, Welham, Webster, Colbon, I'Anson, Dobson, Fozzard, Fitzhenry, Aizue, Newton, Walker, Galea, Murrell, Netherton, Lovegrove, Fisher, Wheeldon, Gene.
Wakefield squad: Blaymire, Blanch, Martin, Atkins, Demetriou, Drew, Sculthorpe, Snitch, Wilkes, Bibey, Henderson, Gleeson, Halley, Ferguson, George, Bibb, Pitts, Blake, Davey.
