Wigan coach Michael Maguire faces a "tough job" selecting the squad to travel to Wembley for the Challenge Cup final against Leeds.

Wigan boss Michael Maguire has admitted that he is finding it “tough” to pick a squad for the Challenge Cup final against Leeds at the weekend.

The 37-year-old has a full squad to choose from, minus Stuart Fielden and Ben Cross who miss out due to injuries.

"I've got a pretty tough job in picking which squad I'm going to go with, with all the players I've got available," Maguire said.

"It's going to [go] back to what I'm seeing at training this week to determine which way I'm going to go.

"Unfortunately I can only put 17 into the squad. Telling someone they're not playing is probably the worst thing as a coach you have to do but I give them a complete understanding and hopefully they'll buy into it."

The Warriors coach is expected to announce the 19-man squad on Thursday ahead of the trip to Wembley.
