Rhyse Martin, Harry Newman and David Fusitu'a could all be in line to make their Leeds Rhinos returns this Thursday after the trio were included in Richard Agar's 21-man squad for the derby with Wakefield Trinity.
Martin has been in Australia on compassionate leave following the death of his father, and has missed Leeds' last two league games. Fusitu'a has also been absent for the defeats to Wigan and Catalans after a concussion suffered in the opening round of the season.
Newman, meanwhile, is yet to feature in a league game this season following a hamstring injury suffered in pre-season - but all three are now available for selection once again, handing Agar a major boost on the selection front.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Alex Mellor has dropped out of the 21-man squad this week after being stretchered off in the defeat to Catalans. He was sent to hospital for precautionary scans on his neck, but was able to return home having been cleared of any serious damage.
But the return of Martin, Newman and Fusitu'a means Leeds' squad looks perhaps the healthiest it has been all season.
Long-term injury absentee Richie Myler remains out, as does James Bentley, who is halfway through a four-match suspension.
Leeds Rhinos 21-man squad: Jack Walker, David Fusitu'a, Harry Newman, Liam Sutcliffe, Ash Handley, Blake Austin, Aidan Sezer, Mikolaj Oledzki, Kruise Leeming, Matt Prior, Rhyse Martin, Zane Tetevano, Brad Dwyer, Cameron Smith, Bodene Thompson, Tom Briscoe, Morgan Gannon, Jack Broadbent, Jarrod O'Connor, Corey Johnson, Liam Tindall.
