Shaun Wane makes two changes to England squad as Mikey Lewis holds spot

England winger Dom Young will sit out Saturday's second Test against Samoa after succumbing to a recent injury. Shaun Wane confirmed earlier this week that Young picked up a knock during Sunday's first Test at Wigan, with the Sydney Roosters star now ruled out with a hand issue.

However, there is a place for Matty Ashton. The Warrington Wolves speedster, who scored two tries in the 34-18 victory last week, is named despite also picking up a knock, with Wigan Warriors winger Liam Marshall primed to take Young's spot.

Naming his 19-man squad for the Headingley clash, Wane will also welcome back Luke Thompson after the prop served his one-match suspension from the Super League Grand Final. Tom Burgess also makes way, while Chris Hill, Morgan Smithies, and Danny Walker are the other players to miss out.

Elsewhere, Junior Nsemba and Ben Currie are included once again. Nsemba is still to debut on the international scene, while Currie was the 18th Man in Wigan.

Hull KR star Mikey Lewis keeps his spot. The Man of Steel came off the bench on the hour mark last week, playing at hooker and scoring England's final try.

England 19-man squad: Matty Ashton, John Bateman, Daryl Clark, Ben Currie, Herbie Farnworth, Ethan Havard, Morgan Knowles, Matty Lees, Mikey Lewis, Liam Marshall, Mike McMeeken, Harry Newman, Junior Nsemba, Kai Pearce-Paul, Victor Radley, Harry Smith, Luke Thompson, Jack Welsby, George Williams
