Hull FC will be without Carlos Tuimavave against Salford Red Devils this Saturday evening, with the centre pulling out of the side with a niggling issue. Hull Live has been told Tuimavave had a complaint in training earlier this week, with the 32-year-old ruled out of the clash.

Tuimavave is one of five changes to the side. Jed Cartwright is suspended, Ligi Sao has suffered a calf injury, Sam Eseh has been recalled by parent club Wigan Warriors, and Tom Briscoe is out to illness.

However, Hull are boosted with the return of Davy Litten. The young back has recovered from a MCL injury and takes his place in the starting line up. Elsewhere, Ed Chamberlain is back after a minor shoulder injury, while Morgan Smith and Tiaki Chan are back in the matchday squad.
