The Maroons are set to hand Melbourne Storm forward Christian Welch his Origin debut, according to a report by Fox Sports' James Hooper.
It is believed that Welch will replace Gold Coast Titans prop Jarrod Wallace as Queensland looks to bounce back from a horror game two loss.
Broncos prop Joe Ofahengaue will also be named on Monday, according to Hooper.
Welch is enjoying a fine season for the Storm and was originally named to play in game one before suffering a knee injury.
Kevin Walters will also need to find a replacement for Kalyn Ponga after the star fullback was ruled out of the Origin decider with a calf injury.
