WARRINGTON Wolves and Wigan Warriors will both be missing packmen when they clash in Super League at the DW Stadium on Friday.
Both Ben Murdoch-Masila and Ben Pomeroy have succumbed to injuries following The Wire's win against Salford Red Devils.
The game also comes too soon for Harvey Livett, but Toby King will be fit after shaking off a head injury.
"Ben will miss Friday night, but he is coming along really good," Wire head coach Steve Price said.
"Ben Pomeroy won’t be fit also. We’re confident both of them will be back next week for Catalans.
"Toby just got a whack around the nose. He’s absolutely fine.
"The boys have been giving him a bit of stick throughout the week, but he’ll be fine.
"Harvey is doing really well. He’ll miss this week but we think he’ll be fine for Catalans as well."
England internationals Chris Hill and Stefan Ratchford are due to return for duty having sat out Friday's victory over Salford Red Devils.
Wigan, already missing French international prop Romain Navarette with a one-match suspension, will be without former St Helens back-rower Joe Greenwood after he twisted his ankle on debut against Leeds Rhinos on Thursday.
