Wigan Warriors name 21-man squad with two changes made to face Salford, including Sam Eseh

Off-season recruit Sam Eseh has been named in Wigan’s 21-man squad for the first time since joining the Warriors.

Head coach Matt Peet has made two changes to his squad following the respective one-match suspensions handed to Sam Walters and Kaide Ellis following the Challenge Cup semi-final triumph.

Eseh, 20, has been named for the first time since making the move to the reigning Super League champions from Wakefield.
