Fifita hasn't played since Magic Weekend, when he left the field with a foot problem while Caton-Brown has been out of action for the last few weeks with an abdomen injury.

However, the pair could both make timely returns tomorrow evening at Warrington, with Wakefield looking to end a run of five straight defeats in league and cup.

Injuries have been one of Trinity's biggest obstacles this season with two more players joining the casualty list against Salford Red Devils.

However, Trinity are still just one win away from the play-off spots, despite their recent run of defeats.

We are in a relegation fight now,” said the Wakefield boss.

“That is how we are looking at it. There are teams that are playing better than us at the minute, the likes of London and Hull KR.

“I am fairly confident that once we get some quality out on the field that we will be OK. It is just getting that quality back out there.”
