Rohan Smith welcomes back three key Leeds Rhinos players for Huddersfield clash

Sam Lisone, Aidan Sezer and David Fusitu'a are all back in contention for Leeds Rhinos, with the trio all selected in Leeds Rhinos' 21-man squad ahead of Friday's clash with Huddersfield Giants.

Fusitu'a has been missing for ten weeks since suffering an ankle injury in the defeat at Hull KR back in Round 7 at the end of March in a rain-sodden affair at Craven Park. Lisone is back after nursing a four-week calf injury and will make his 150th career appearance if selected. Sezer also returns to play his former side.

Nene Macdonald misses out as he continues his return to play protocol after a head injury in the Rhinos' last game. Harry Newman, Zane Tetevano and Morgan Gannon and Tom Holroyd are all missing and have not been cleared to return to action yet after injury.
