WARRINGTON Wolves will make at least one change as they entertain Wigan Warriors at The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Friday.

Winger Matty Russell is not named by head coach Steve Price in the 19-man squad, but scrum-half Tyrone Roberts and prop Sitaleki Akauola are.

Roberts missed the last two games with a knee injury, while Akauola is set for his debut after off-season shoulder surgery.

Joe Philbin, who suffered concussion in the opening win of the season at Widnes Vikings, is also included.

Price could be set to hand Mitch Brown, a signing from Leigh Centurions, a debut on the wing in place of Russell.

Akauola does have experience of playing on the flanks too.

Wolves 19: Sitaleki Akauola, Ryan Atkins, Kevin Brown, Mitch Brown, Daryl Clark, Mike Cooper, Dominic Crosby, Ben Currie, Bryson Goodwin, Chris Hill, Jack Hughes, Tom Lineham, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Declan Patton, Joe Philbin, Stefan Ratchford, Tyrone Roberts, Morgan Smith, Ben Westwood.

Wigan returned to the UK on Monday following their tour of New South Wales, Australia.

John Bateman is named in the squad for his first Super League game of the year.

There are also call-ups for Craig Mullen and Romain Navarrete after impressing during the weekend's friendly against South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Joe Burgess and Dan Sarginson miss out, while Frank-Paul Nuuausala is the other absentee following his release today.

Warriors 19: John Bateman, Tony Clubb, Tom Davies, Morgan Escaré, Liam Farrell, Ben Flower, Oliver Gildart, Willie Isa, Tommy Leuluai, Liam Marshall, Craig Mullen, Romain Navarrete, Sean O’Loughlin, Sam Powell, Ryan Sutton, Taulima Tautai, Joel Tomkins, Sam Tomkins, George Williams.
