Sean Long and Richard Horne have been named in the same Hull FC squad for the first time in five months.

The half-back pairing were today named in coach Richard Agar's 19-man squad for the visit of Leeds Rhinos on Saturday afternoon.

Horne has recovered from a groin problem and Long is back from a dislocated elbow which has kept him sidelined for two months.

The duo will now re-take their place in the halves for Hull at the expense of stand-in pairing Danny Washbrook and Shaun Berrigan, who both keep their places in the squad.

Mike Burnett and Jack Briscoe have dropped out of the squad to make way for Horne and Long, with the young duo set to play this evening for the under-20s in their play-off first-round tie at Huddersfield.

Hull FC 19-man squad: T Briscoe, Berrigan, Cusack, Dowes, Fitzgibbon, Hall, Horne, Houghton, Lauaki, Long, Lyne, Manu, Moa, O'Meley, Radford, Tickle, Turner, Washbrook, Yeaman

In other news, due to a high demand for tickets, Hull FC have confirmed they will be opening the West Stand upper tier for the clash with Leeds at the KC Stadium.

The East and South Stands sold out earlier this week and with the West Stand lower tier quickly filling up Hull have taken the decision to open the upper tier for only the second time this season.

Tickets are available from the KC Stadium ticket office or by calling 01482 505600.
