nib Newcastle Knights Head Coach, Adam O'Brien, has named his 21-man squad for Saturday night's clash with Melbourne at AAMI Park.

With the squad officially relocating to the Sunshine Coast tomorrow due to the new COVID-19 hub, O'Brien has named Tyson Frizell to return from a syndesmosis injury.

Frizell hasn't featured since Round 12 and will line-up to start in the second-row while his return sees Mitch Barnett shuffle to lock.

Daniel Saifiti has been named to start in the front-row after being ruled out of Origin III.

There are no further changes to the team which beat North Queensland 38-0 a fortnight ago.
