The Betfred Super League Round 23 match between the Leigh Leopards and the Salford Red Devils is confirmed to be proceeding as planned.
The fixture had been under scrutiny after Salford's previous match against Wakefield Trinity was reluctantly cancelled due to significant player welfare concerns.
The club, in consultation with the Rugby Football League, made the decision to postpone the previous game due to a high number of injuries within the squad.
However, with the return of several first-grade players from injury and the addition of others on loan, Salford's squad is now deemed sufficient to play.
The confirmation of the match is welcome news for UK rugby league fans, as it ensures the season can continue without further disruption.
The decision highlights the ongoing challenge of player welfare in professional sports, but also the commitment of the clubs and the league to fulfilling their schedule.
