CRAIG Lingard has confirmed the 21-man Castleford Tigers squad he will select from against Warrington Wolves on Friday.

A key change from their defeat at Salford Red Devils in Round Two will be the absence of Danny Richardson - the half-back failed an in-game head injury assessment on Sunday so will sit the game out under concussion protocols.

Fiji international winger Jason Qareqare also misses out while Lingard was already without skipper Paul McShane and Papua New Guinea international prop Sylvester Namo through injury and front-rower Liam Watts through suspension.

Three former Warrington players are named in the squad in the shape of forwards Joe Westerman, Luis Johnson and Samy Kibula, with Johnson in contention to make his second debut for the Fords.
