Oldham bring back star men Josh Drinkwater, Danny Craven, Iain Thornley, Gil Dudson, Matty Ashurst and Adam Milner for tomorrow's (Friday) fourth-round Challenge Cup-tie at Hull KR.
Prop stalwart Owen Farnworth also missed the league defeat at Barrow, but all seven are in tomorrow's 21-man squad as Oldham target a big shock against the Super League leaders in their bid to go to Wembley for the first time.
They have two chances of reaching the Holy Grail because they are also through to the quarter-final of the 1895 Cup in which they will play Barrow Raiders at home in early April.
