Chessum returns for Saracens clash
- 311
Leicester Tigers have named their matchday squad for Sunday’s Gallagher Premiership showdown against Saracens at Mattioli Woods Welford Road (3pm).
England international lock Ollie Chessum is named to start in the second row for what will be his first league appearance since round five in October last year.
Chessum partners Cameron Henderson in the second row in what is an otherwise unchanged starting selection from Tigers 33-0 victory in the East Midlands Derby last time out.
With Chessum back in the lineup, Harry Wells moves to the bench, bringing the Tigers' finishing group to a combined total of over 1100 club appearances.
