HULL FC coach Lee Radford faces a tough choice over his half-back partnership after naming Jordan Rankin in the 19-man squad for Sunday's clash at Bradford.
Rankin returns to the Black and Whites line-up after undergoing surgery on a torn meniscus suffered in last month's 18-18 draw with Castleford Tigers.
Rankin subsequently missed the 19-12 victory over St Helens last time out, with Richard Horne and Jordan Abdull starring that day. Now, the Hull coach must choose his preferred combination for the trip to West Yorkshire.
Elsewhere, Aaron Heremaia misses out after undergoing surgery on a similar injury to that suffered by Rankin, with James Cunningham drafted in to replace the Kiwi.
Meanwhile, prop Jordan Thompson is left out of Hull's 19-man squad.
For Bradford, they welcome back the trio of Matt Diskin, Jamie Foster and Brett Kearney, with Jamal Fakir, Alex Mellor and Nathan Conroy all missing out.
Hull FC 19-man squad: Abdull, Bowden, Cunningham, Ellis, Green, Hadley, Horne, Houghton, Lineham, Paea, Paleaaesina, Rankin, Sa, Shaul, Talanoa, Watts, Westerman, Whiting, Yeaman.
Bradford Bulls 19-man squad: Addy, Arundel, Baldwinson, Blythe, Diskin, Donaldson, Ferguson, Foster, Gale, Gaskell, Henry, Kear, Kearney, Manuokafoa, O'Brien, Olbison, Pitts, Sidlow, Williams.
