Salford Red Devils have confirmed that Friday’s Betfred Super League clash against Leigh Leopards will go ahead as planned.
The crisis-hit Red Devils called off Sunday’s scheduled clash with Wakefield citing player welfare issues after failing to raise a team.
Salford’s sanction for failing to fulfil the fixture, expected to be a standard 48-0 defeat, is set to be announced by the Rugby Football League on Tuesday 19 August.
The club, who have been battling severe cash-flow problems since a takeover at the start of the season, were always confident they would be able to return against Leigh.
