WARRINGTON Wolves co-captain Jack Hughes has been left out of the 19-man squad to face London Broncos.

The back-rower has been rested for this game and along with Jake Mamo being sidelined with an ankle ligament sprain it means Sitaleki Akauola and Matty Davis take their places.

Wolves 19 to face London Broncos, Friday, 7.45pm: Sitaleki Akauola, Ryan Atkins, Blake Austin, Josh Charnley, Daryl Clark, Jason Clark, Mike Cooper, Ben Currie, Matt Davis, Chris Hill, Toby King, Tom Lineham, Harvey Livett, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Declan Patton, Joe Philbin, Stefan Ratchford, Lama Tasi, Danny Walker.

Luke Yates and Elliot Kear are absent for promoted London due to concussion protocol, while Matty Davis' loan spell from The Wire is over and he could be facing his teammates of last week when Broncos fell at home to Huddersfield Giants.

James Cunningham comes back into their 19 along with Jacob Ogden and Ryan Morgan.

Rhys Williams and Morgan Smith are former Wire players now plying their trade with Broncos, whose Matty Fleming was a student at Bridgewater High School before he first turned pro with St Helens.

Wales international Williams said: ”These are the games that you look forward to.

"Having the opportunity to play at stadiums like the HJ and against top opposition is what we wanted so now we have to make the most of it.”

Broncos 19: Eddie Battye, Rob Butler, James Cunningham, Matt Davies, Kieran Dixon, Matt Fleming, Matt Gee, Mark Ioane, Will Lovell, Nathan Mason, James Meadows, Ryan Morgan, Jacob Ogden, Eloi Pelissier, Jay Pitts, Greg Richards, Morgan Smith, Alex Walker, Rhys Williams.
