The Warriors have confirmed star halfback Shaun Johnson will return from a three-game injury layoff in their next clash against Manly in Christchurch on June 9.
The 27-year-old has missed the Warriors' last three matches against the Sydney Roosters, Parramatta and South Sydney after suffering an ankle injury late in
their round nine win over Wests Tigers.
Johnson's return will boost the Stephen Kearney coached side who have suffered three heavy losses in their past five games, as their form seesawed after an impressive start to the season saw them go unbeaten through the opening five rounds.
There is no word yet from the club on the fitness of captain and fullback Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, who limped out of last week's 30-10 loss to South Sydney, although the injury is not believed to be serious.
Back-up No 7 Mason Lino is also set to return to action this weekend after missing the Rabbitohs defeat with a leg injury suffered in the round 11 win over the Eels in Sydney.
