Hull FC duo Jack Ashworth and Harvey Barron could both make their returns for the reserves side against London Broncos this Saturday afternoon. Ashworth has been recovering from a broken thumb, while Barron has had a fractured skull.

Both players haven’t played since March but are now set for comebacks in Francis Cummins side, who has made four changes for the clash at Hull YPI. Academy pair Callum Kemp and Joe Ward have also been called up.

They replace Davy Litten, Liam Tindall, and Jayden Okunbor, who have all moved out on loan, and Ryan Westerman, who also drops out this week.
