The Test centre withdrew because he didn't feel well and will be tested for Covid-19 as a precaution.

Jake Bibby takes his place, one of three players - with Joe Greenwood and Joe Bullock - who played in the derby defeat against St Helens on Tuesday night.

Kick-off is 2.30pm. Warrington face Salford in the other semi-final.

Wigan: French; Manfredi, Hardaker, Bibby, Burgess; Leuluai, Hastings; Partington, Powell, Havard, Isa, Farrell, O'Loughlin. Subs: Bullock, Greenwood, Jo Shorrocks, Smith.
