Leeds Carnegie Director of Rugby Stuart Lancaster can include Kearnan Myall, Rob Rawlinson, Hendre Fourie and club captain Stuart Hooper in his squad for this Sunday's clash with Bath at Headingley Carnegie, kick off 3pm.
Myall makes his first start after four months out with a shoulder injury whilst Rawlinson and Fourie are on the bench after lengthy lay offs also. Hooper has been out for four matches after suffering a shoulder injury against Wasps back in January.
More good news comes for Lancaster with scrum half Joe Bedford being cleared to play on Sunday. Bedford suffered a head injury last week at Sale but has passed a Cogsport test this week which shows that he is clear to return to action, Bedford will captain the side.
However, there is some disappointing news for Lancaster with seven players ruled out through injury. Props Colin Noon (neck), Adam Hopcroft (back) and Michael Cusack (thumb) are all unavailable as is fellow forward Adam Balding (back). In the backs Richard Welding (shoulder) is joined on the injured list by Lee Blackett (hip) and Tom Biggs (hip).
Fosi Pala'amo returns the bench however after returning to the UK following a family bereavement.
