Colbon suffered the first injury against Catalans Dragons in March.

Hull KR winger Liam Colbon will return from injury for the home game against Bradford on Saturday.

The 25-year-old, who has made just seven appearances this season, has been sidelined for four months with a broken jaw followed by a knee injury.

Robins coach Justin Morgan told BBC Radio Humberside: "He will play [against Bradford] as he'll have had another week of training to prepare."

"We've been cautious as we've got some very difficult games left to play."

Colbon was close to selection for the cross-city clash with Hull last Thursday but Morgan opted to keep faith with youngster Sam Latus as the Robins went down to a 20-16 defeat at the KC Stadium.

Meanwhile, captain Mick Vella will be assessed ahead of the game at Craven Park. The former Australian international pulled out of last week's derby prior to kick-off with a rib injury.
