WOLVES WELCOME BACK QUARTET

Lee Briers: Back for Warrington

Warrington welcome back four regulars for Sunday's Carnegie Challenge Cup quarter-final with Catalan Dragons.

The Wolves are still without Adrian Morley, Michael Monaghan and Richie Myler but first-team regulars Lee Briers, Chris Bridge, Ben Westwood and Brett Hodgson make the trip to France after being rested for last Sunday's 24-20 win over Salford.

The Dragons beat Wolves 44-16 in last month's Super League meeting, but the last time they met in the cup - in the 2010 semi-final - Warrington triumphed 54-12 and went on to lift the trophy.

Scrum-half Scott Dureau is in the Catalan squad despite earlier this week being ruled out with a knee injury.

The Australian was hurt during his side's 27-20 Super League win over Huddersfield last Saturday and was diagnosed with a torn meniscus that was expected to sideline him for a fortnight.

However, he was included in coach Trent Robinson's 19-man squad and will undergo a fitness test ahead of the tie at Stade Gilbert Brutus.

The selection mystery is unlikely to fool Warrington coach Tony Smith, who said: "We have prepared for a Catalan team with Dureau and one without him."

The Dragons have recalled veteran hooker Ben Fisher in place of Eloi Pelissier in the only change to the side that beat the Giants last week.

Former Hull KR player Fisher initially joined the Catalans on a two-month loan from Batley but has now had his tenure extended to the end of the season.

Catalan squad: Greenshields, Pryce, Sa, Stacul, Bosc, Dureau, Henderson, Casty, Menzies, Anderson, Raguin, Millard, Simon, Fakir, Paea, Baitieri, Duport, Fisher, Cardace.

Warrington squad: Atkins, Blythe, C. Bridge, Briers, Carvell, Cooper, Currie, Grix, Harrison, Higham, Hill, Hodgson, McCarthy, J. Monaghan, O'Brien, Riley, Waterhouse, Westwood, Wood.
