Sean O'Loughlin didn't travel as a precaution

The 37-year-old had been due to play in his first match since the season restarted, having recovered from a niggling hamstring injury.

But he didn't fly with the squad, in line with Covid-19 protocols.

Joe Burgess, Thomas Leuluai, Joe Bullock, Ethan Havard and George Burgess have all returned to the team.

Wigan's squad flew to France on a chartered flight this morning and will remain in a strict 'bubble' either side of the game, ensuring they will not need to quarantine when they return.

Today's game kicks off at 5pm UK time, and is live on Sky Sports.
