Hooker Tevita Leo-Latu makes a return to the Wakefield squad for their Super League clash with Hull KR on Sunday.
The Kiwi missed last weekend's 41-0 drubbing of Crusaders to witness the birth of his twin daughters.
Half-back Sam Obst will have to come through a late fitness test on an ankle injury in order to play at Belle Vue, while Paul Cooke is set to line up against his old side.
Wakefield can boost their play-off hopes with a second consecutive victory after previously suffering three straight defeats.
The visitors will still have to cope without Shaun Briscoe, Liam Colbon and Jason Netherton, who all continue to be ruled out through injury.
Young winger Sam Latus therefore retains his spot in Justin Morgan's squad, with the Rovers head coach likely to name the same side that dramatically drew with Huddersfield last Friday.
First win
Morgan is hoping to steer his team to a first win at Belle Vue since Hull KR joined Super League in 2007.
"It would be nice to win it for the fans. I'd imagine they have been quite angry and frustrated when they've left Belle Vue before," he told Rovers' official website.
"Their support has been fantastic. Our away form has been quite scratchy but the fans have still come to the games and cheered and sung and stayed until the end.
"I've got to take my hat off to them. We don't always go on record to say thank-you and we should do that more often.
"I'm very confident we will send them away from Wakefield this time with a smile on their faces.
"The previous games won't have any bearing on this one. People keep telling me we haven't won there since we got into Super League.
"Well that means we must be closer to a win. I'm all for looking at things in a positive light."
