Warrington captain George Williams declares himself fit for Challenge Cup final
The 30-year-old has been on a fast-track to recovery since he suffered an ankle injury in early April that required surgery.
With Matty Ashton and Danny Walker already sidelined, the return of Williams will be a huge boost to Warrington's hopes of erasing the memory of last year's final loss to Wigan.
Williams said: 'When you get the injury it's an eight to 10 week lay-off and it'll be seven weeks and two days post-op. So it's really not miles faster.

'But it's been easy for me because I've done everything I can, because the goal was always to play at Wembley.
'I could have played last week but it was a bit of a risk and we were always chasing this week.'
Meanwhile Rovers also hope for welcome news on the injury front with hooker Michael McIlorum set to be named in Willie Peters' final squad.
Like Williams, McIlorum also required surgery on a bicep injury he sustained in April, and it was initially feared he would be ruled out for three months.
But the 37-year-old has made good progress in training and Peters is cautiously optimistic that he can play some part in the Robins' bid to end their 40-year trophy drought.
Peters said: 'He'll be named, but the odds of him playing, I'm not sure yet. He's got to get through some things.
'The thing with Mickey is he's built differently. It should still be a while really, so that's why we've got to look at the pros and cons and weigh it all up.
'There's obviously risk and a lot of factors are involved. Mickey will make a decision, and I'll take his word if he can take to the field.'

James Batchelor hopes to follow in brother Joe's footsteps and win Challenge Cup
While major silverware still eludes the 27-year-old Rovers second rower, older brother Joe won the prestigious trophy with St Helens in 2021 and also has two Grand Final triumphs to his name. James credits his riotous introduction to rugby league to the impact of his brother – his senior by three years – and is determined to emulate him when the Robins get another chance to end their 40-year trophyless streak against Warrington. Batchelor told the PA news agency: 'I definitely want what my brother's got. He's already got one and I want one to match it, and although there's always been a rivalry between us I'm sure he wants me to get one because he knows how much it means to me.' Batchelor admits the sibling rivalry between the pair was not always so healthy when they were growing up in West Yorkshire, with the younger brother eager to prove himself in games against much bigger and more physical friends. 'It could get pretty fierce at times,' recalled Batchelor. 'We were at each other 24-7, kicking lumps out of each other in the garden, and we drove our mum up the wall. 'But it definitely drove us both on, and I got used to playing with him and his mates who were a lot older than me. When they're all going through growth spurts and I'm not growing, it definitely toughens you up because you have to get on with it and you get no sympathy at that age.' Since joining Rovers in 2023, Batchelor has been integral to the club's rise to the top of the Super League table, but was also part of the setbacks of losing the 2023 Challenge Cup final in heartbreaking fashion to Leigh, and last year's Grand Final against Wigan at Old Trafford. Batchelor believes those tough losses have equipped his club to kick on and put an end to a much-publicised streak without silverware, which stretches back to Rovers' 1985 title win in what was then the Slalom Lager League. 'There's a lot of factors that add up, including the excitement of being back at Wembley for the second time in three years, but also having that motivation to get rid of the hurt of those two losses and go one better this time,' he added. 'We said after the 2023 final that we could either fade away or learn from it and kick on, and that's what we did. Every setback we've had at this club in recent years, we've been able to work on it and come back stronger. 'The 40-year thing is also a big deal, the taunting our supporters get about it, many of whom have been with us a long time and have been through it. 'All these things fuel the fire towards Saturday, and we definitely want to go out and win the trophy for our fans.'

Warrington pin hopes on Marc Sneyd to defy odds and inflict more final woe on Hull KR
Were you to have the briefest glance at the Super League table and the recent form of the Challenge Cup finalists, you would think the Wembley meeting of Hull KR and Warrington Wolves is going only one way. Rovers have lost only once all year and are the standout side. Warrington, in contrast, sit eighth and to suggest they have been inconsistent under Sam Burgess would be putting it mildly. But a couple of things could redress the balance and make this an intriguing final. Firstly, history hangs heavy on the shoulders of Hull KR. Without a major trophy since 1985 and scarred by countless defeats in finals since then, including two in the past two seasons alone, you do wonder quite whether taking that most important step will come into the thinking of the Rovers players when they walk out at Wembley on Saturday. Warrington, meanwhile, are armed with a man who not only knows how to win these games but excel in them. Marc Sneyd began the season as a Salford player but, when their financial problems deepened, Warrington acted swiftly to sign the scrum-half in March. It has proven to be a masterstroke, with Sneyd's best performance in a Wire shirt thus far coming in the semi-final against Leigh. Incredibly, that display came only 13 days after he fractured an eye socket. Sneyd is one of only five men to win the Lance Todd Trophy for man of the match in the final twice, after back-to-back victories in 2016 and 2017. To add an extra layer of intrigue, both those cup final wins were for Hull FC, the arch-rivals of the side he is trying to stop from ending their trophy drought on Saturday. 'He's an impressive guy,' Sam Burgess said of the scrum-half this week. 'We saw what he did in the semi-finals. He's a very composed bloke, nothing really flusters him and the bigger the stage, the more he seems to enjoy it.' Already a legend on the west side of Hull, Sneyd could enrich this legacy further if he engineers Warrington to victory this week, while also bringing a first trophy to the Wolves since 2019. 'He beat me there in 2017,' Sneyd's half-back partner, George Williams, admits. 'He's thrived on the big stage so many times, he's won two Lance Todds and I'm hoping he gets a third because if he does it'll mean a Warrington win. He's been brilliant to play with.' And it would not be a stretch to suggest that with their title hopes looking remote at best in Super League, they are putting all their proverbial eggs in this basket. No decision epitomises that mentality more than the fact the England captain, Williams, will take to the field on Wembley on Saturday less than eight weeks removed from ankle surgery that initially looked set to rule him out of the final. It is undoubtedly a gamble and, as any league historian will tell you with the cases of Gavin Miller in 1986 and Keith Senior in 2005, those types of decisions in a Challenge Cup final can often backfire. 'There's always an element of risk,' Burgess admitted on Monday. 'But it's not groundbreaking. We've pushed really hard to get him ready for this game. If there was no rush, maybe he wouldn't play.' Williams insisted this week he is fully fit; he will need to be should Warrington stand a chance against a mightily impressive Hull KR side. Burgess, who has reiterated he will see his Warrington contract through to the end of next year after missing out on the Perth Bears job, is again within touching distance of his first trophy as a coach. For all the talk of Rovers needing a trophy, there is perhaps a fair argument Burgess and Warrington need one just as much after defeat in last year's cup final and falling short in the playoff semi-finals in Super League. 'I think we're bigger underdogs than last year because we were playing well last year,' Williams, who himself has lost two finals and is yet to win one, says. 'Nobody is giving us a chance but we're fine with that.' 'This year has been different to last year. I thought it was easy last year but I've been challenged with a number of things this year and had to make some hard decisions. But I've still really enjoyed it. I'm contracted until the end of 2026 and I will finish my contract out here at Warrington.' Burgess has already courted plenty of interest in Australia for the work he has done at Warrington in 18 months. Win this Saturday against all the odds and his stock will rise once again – on both sides of the world.

Athletic Bilbao release transfer statement on Arsenal target Nico Williams
Arsenal are interested in signing Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams and club president Jon Uriarte has now spoken out about the Spanish international's future Athletic Bilbao have offered an update on the future of Arsenal target Nico Williams, with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta a huge fan of the winger. Arsenal have long been linked with Williams, who memorably shone for Spain as they won Euro 2024 last summer. However, it seems as though Bilbao are confident that the 22-year-old will not be leaving the club. "I believe we have a winning and interesting project for everyone, and Nico is part of that project, just like many other players," Bilbao president Jon Uriarte told Spanish outlet El Correo. "The project becomes easier if we keep our players - and I believe Nico and the rest of the squad have a very exciting year ahead." Uriarte's comments come after it emerged that Bilbao are attempting to persuade Williams to sign a new deal. The winger is currently under contract until 2027 and his deal is said to include a release clause worth around £50million. However, Williams' wage demands are understood to be a stumbling block. Mirror Football understands that Williams would want to be paid more than £300,000-a-week to make him one of the bigger earners in Europe. Barcelona have also been heavily linked with Williams, but their financial restrictions have made the move unlikely. Barcelona have also seen an approach for Liverpool's Luis Diaz rebuffed, with the club unwilling to sell the player unless they receive a bumper offer. Diaz has also i ndicated that he wants to stay at Anfield. "I feel I'm going through a really good period," Diaz told club media. "I'm really happy to be here, to be part of this great institution, this great club and to have great team-mates around me. From the moment I arrived, I felt great pride. "I always tried to work hard for this, and to see that nowadays things are working out for me fills me with pride and I'm really happy because that's what I work for. [But] we are nobodies without our team-mates. "We are a team. The forwards and wingers always try to help with goals and assists, and right now I've achieved good numbers to back that up. It's about playing and then playing well, supporting the team in the way I play and enjoying it, like always." Diaz is out of contract in 2026, but the winger expects talks over an extension to begin imminently. "We will be talking, the talk about it (his future) will happen," he said recently. "For me, I'd stay for as long as possible. It also depends on the club, it all depends on the details. They're all details that are sorted out separately. But I am very calm, very happy and I am enjoying the Premier League."
