Hull FC's injury woes show no sign of abating with coach Peter Gentle admitting he could go into the play-offs next week with no fresh faces.
Gentle has made just one change for tomorrow night's final round match at home to St Helens with Aaron Heremaia returning from suspension to replace the injured Ben Crooks.
Hull's top try scorer was named in the 19-man squad to face Wigan last week but didn't feature because of a shoulder injury.
Having picked up a virus while still suffering from the injury, Crooks has been left out this week with Gentle again naming a youthful squad that includes the likes of Dean Hadley, Josh Bowden and Liam Kent.
Captain Gareth Ellis again misses out with rib cartilage damage, while Andy Lynch is ruled out with a hamstring injury.
Gentle admits the pair are also doubtful for next week as the play-offs get underway.
"It is not something we can give them an injection for, if we could they'd play this week," said Gentle.
"I am hoping maybe next week will look different, but it is too early to say.
"It is not a case of not risking the players this week, they are simply not right to play.
"Andy Lynch has a hamstring injury, Gareth Ellis has rib damage and Ben Crooks a shoulder problem.
"Ben has also picked up a virus too so he's out of luck at the minute."
The loss of the trio has been compounded by the loss of Mark O'Meley for the season, with the Aussie joining compatriots Shannon McDonnell and Ben Galea with season-ending injuries. Hull are also without Joe Arundel and Tom Lineham.
Hull 19-man squad: Briscoe, Bowden, Crookes, Green, Hadley, Heremaia, Horne, Holdsworth, Houghton, Johnson, Kent, Miller, Pitts, Shaul, Tickle, Watts, Westerman, Whiting, Yeaman.
