Donaldson has continued his game time with Bradford away from Leeds but could make his first appearance since the drop goal win over Saints this week.
Aidan Sezer and Luis Roberts drop out of the side from the defeat at Leigh. David Fusitu'a, Max Simpson and Derrell Olpherts are also still recovering from injury.
Richie Myler is the only player in Leeds' 21 squad to have previously played for Salford. The full back made 53 appearances for the club between 2007 and 2008.
Fresh from England duty, Ash Handley can continue a scoring streak against the Red Devils. The winger has tries in his last three games against Salford, including a length of the field effort last season.
