Tommy Leuluai in line for Wigan Warriors return ahead of Catalans clash

Tommy Leuluai could make his return to the Wigan Warriors side for their clash with Catalans Dragons.

The Warriors captain has been named in the side for the trip to Perpignan in the only change to the 21-man squad.

Adrian Lam has replaced Bevan French with the Kiwi veteran, with the rest remaining unchanged.

It means that both Morgan Smithies and Willie Isa, who missed last week's victory over Salford, remain in the squad despite remaining doubts. Lam said both, as well as Leuluai, will be given time to prove their fitness before the trip to France.

Youngsters Sam Halsall and Umyla Hanley remain in the squad while Kai Pearce-Paul retains his place.

Catalans have yet to name their squad for the game, but Sam Tomkins is expected to feature despite missing the victory over St Helens.

Wigan's 21-man squad: 2. Dom Manfredi, 3. Zak Hardaker,7. Tommy Leuluai, 8. Brad Singleton, 9. Sam Powell, 10. Joe Bullock, 11. Willie Isa, 12. Liam Farrell, 13. John Bateman, 14. Oliver Partington, 15. Morgan Smithies, 19. Liam Byrne, 20. Harry Smith. 21. Ethan Havard, 22. Jake Bibby, 23. Mitch Clark, 25. Joe Shorrocks, 27. Kai Pearce-Paul, 28. Sam Halsall, 30. Umyla Hanley, 31. Jackson Hastings
