SAINTS wing Tommy Makinson will miss Saturday's trip to Hull KR after going down with Chicken Pox.
Makinson is therefore omitted from the 21-man squad heading over to East Yorkshire for what will be a tough game after what the Robins did to Wigan.
The 32-year-old's absence from the squad initially saw a bit of head scratching, given coach Paul Wellens had already explained that the players had come through the win over Huddersfield unscathed.
But then Makinson explained on his own social media platform.
Makinsons posted: "Thank you for the msgs -appreciate the concern.
"Pretty sure up there in a short list of players struck down with chicken pox at 30 odd."

Saints have options for the two wing spots with Waqa Blake and Jon Bennison being regulars in the 17, but with Tee Ritson impressing recently on loan at Swinton and looking for a first shout of 2024.
