Leigh coach Adrian Lam has revealed that star hooker Edwin Ipape is likely to return for the Leopards’ trip to Hull KR on Friday night.
The Papua New Guinea international missed last week’s 14-6 defeat to Catalans Dragons in Perpignan with an ankle injury.
But Leopards coach Lam confirmed it was only a minor knock. Ipape is in contention to play in Friday’s game at Hull KR.
Lam told Love Rugby League: “He’s going to be included in the 21 as he was last week.
“We’ll make a decision on him on captain’s run but he will more than likely play.”
Ipape also welcomed his family to the UK after they made the trip over from Papua New Guinea last week.
Lam added: “Edwin’s family are here and he’s very happy that’s happened.
“His wife and two kids are here and it’s perfect for him and us as a club. It gets him in a place where he is very happy and hopefully his best rugby will fly off the back of that.
“He wasn’t in our squad last week because of his ankle, but moving forward we are going to give him every chance of being right and we’ll make a decision on him on captain’s run.”
