Wales international centre Ashley Beck will return to Warriors‘ starting XV for Saturday’s Gallagher Premiership match against reigning champions Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park (kick-off 3.00pm).
Beck will renew his centre pairing with Francois Venter as England international Ollie Lawrence has been ruled out by a sore shoulder.
Wing Perry Humphreys has recovered from the rib injury that ruled him out of Warriors’s last two matches.
There are also two changes in the pack where Justin Clegg returns at lock in place of Anton Bresler who suffered a hea dinjury against Sale Sharks two weeks ago.
Matt Kvesic returns to a re-jigged back-row and will start at number eight against his former club.
Openside flanker Sam Lewis will make his 97th appearance alongside Kvesic and captain Ted Hill in the back-row.
Kyle Hatherell, a lock or back-row forward, is in line to make his debut having arrived from Greene King IPA Championship club Jersey Reds last month.
Hatherell, 25, was one of the Championship’s stand-out performers during his three years at Jersey having arrived from Scottish Premier club Marr.
He is one of six forwards named among the replacements with Gareth Simpson and new recruit Harri Doel covering the backs.
