McGuire to return for Leeds v St Helens

Leeds skipper Danny McGuire will return for the Rhinos for their match against St Helens, after overcoming a knee injury.

Leeds captain Danny McGuire is set to return for the Super League champions against St Helens on Friday.

The veteran half-back has led the Rhinos only once in Super League since inheriting the captain's armband from Kevin Sinfield after sustaining a knee injury in the opening game against Warrington.

Leeds have won only once in the absence of McGuire, who sat out their five matches, including the World Cup Challenge, but he has been included in coach Brian McDermott's 19-man squad for the visit of Saints, along with Joel Moon, Carl Ablett and Brett Delaney.

Ablett has not played since damaging an ankle in round two while Moon and Delaney missed last week's defeat at Wigan with hamstring injuries.

St Helens coach Keiron Cunningham brings in Jack Owens for injured winger Adam Swift and has also included Travis Burns and Andre Savelio in his 19-man squad.
