The 35-year-old is yet to represent the club after suffering a nasty fall at the start of the year back in his Argentinian homeland which left him with a broken arm and leg. Covatti's first attempt at a comeback came in April, but he was clearly struggling and advised to give in another couple of weeks.

But if he doesn't, then Drew Kemp is on standby for both tonight's meeting and Saturday's return fixture against the Pirates.
