James Bell to make debut for Hull FC

By IAN JUDSON

HULL FC head coach John Cartwright has named his 21-man squad for the match against Wakefield Trinity at the DIY Kitchens Stadium on Thursday evening.

The Airlie Birds travel to West Yorkshire without injury victims Harvey Barron (ankle) and Jed Cartwright (hamstring) while Liam Knight has been released from the remainder of his contract.

On the positive side, John Asiata came through unscathed from a first outing of the season from the bench and he is joined in the squad by new signing James Bell who could make his debut for the Airlie Birds.

Tom Briscoe is restored to the side having last appeared, for his 450^th career appearance, in the Challenge Cup victory at Salford.

Aidan Sezer is still suffering with blurred vision after receiving a poke in the eye, which saw him leave the pitch for a period in the defeat to York Knights but will be given until Thursday before a decision is made about his availability.

Ligi Sao returns to action having been banned for the games against Wigan and York, while Logan Moy has recovered from a calf injury to be included in the squad.

Squad:

Davy Litten, Zak Hardaker, Lewis Martin, Jake Arthur, Aidan Sezer, Amir Bourouh, Harvie Hill, John Asiata, Cade Cust, James Bell, Sam Lisone, Ligi Sao, Tom Briscoe, Yusuf Aydin, Arthur Romano, Connor Bailey, Brad Fash, Logan Moy, Matty Laidlaw, Callum Kemp, Will Kirby.
