Queensland coach Kevin Walters has confirmed the Maroons' line-up for the Origin opener, following the omission of Billy Slater due to injury.
Michael Morgan will assume the fullback position, while Anthony Milford will come onto the interchange as his replacement.
Walters has named both Ben Hunt and Dane Gagai, and did admit Gagai had left the field during Tuesday's training session to receive treatment.
However, Walters said he did return, and should be fit to face the Blues at the MCG on Wednesday night.
"He has come up with some sort of injury there," Walters told the media on Tuesday.
"He's going off for scans and an x-ray this afternoon. He came back out and trained.
"We expect him to play given he came back out and finished off the session.
"Michael Morgan will be fullback for us and Anthony Milford will go onto the bench."
Tim Glasby will be the official 18th man.
