Shaun McRae has included Richie Myler and Jordan Turner in Salford's 19-man squad for the visit of Hull KR.
Promising stand-off Myler has been rested by the head coach for the last two games but could return to the match-day 17 as Reds look to build on last week's victory over Harlequins.
Turner returns from injury for James Walton while Australian Craig Stapleton also returns to the front line having completed a one-match suspension for dissent.
Phil Leuluai is likely to start from the bench despite making his first start of the season against Quins.
"Phil did pretty well last week, he's a big powerful guy and he caused them problems," McRae said. "With Craig Stapleton coming back our forwards are a lot stronger and we can use our impact players the way we'd like to."
Hull KR require one more win to clinch a top-four spot ahead of the play-offs but coach Justin Morgan is warning his side not to under-estimate their opponents.
"They have shocked a couple of teams there this year," said Morgan. "It is a tough one and we have got to make sure we are up for it.
"It is one that can sneak up on you. After being buoyant with the win against Saints, we have to make sure we don't take our eye off the prize and undo all that good work with a poor performance."
Morgan recalls front row Makali Aizue for his first outing in two months while Ben Fisher returns after missing last week's victory over St Helens.
Scott Murrell, Stanley Gene and Rhys Lovegrove are not yet ready to return from injury.
Salford 19-man squad: Wilshere, Henry, Littler, Turner, McGilvray, Smith, Ratchford, Cashmere, Alker, Stapleton, Adamson, Sidlow, Swain, Paul, Sibbit, Leuluai, Nash, Fitzpatrick, Myler.
Hull K R 19-man squad: Briscoe, Fox, Welham, Webster, Colbon, Fozzard, Fisher, Vella, Newton, Galea, Cockayne, Netherton, Aizue, Walker, Fitzhenry, I'Anson, Cooke, Wheeldon, Dobson.
