Anthony Allen returns to the Leicester Tigers line-up for the Heineken Cup match against Benetton Treviso in Italy this weekend.

Tigers centre Allen missed the home win over Treviso in Round 3 after injury in the Aviva Premiership match against Bath a week earlier.

Niall Morris and Adam Thompstone return on the wings, while Dan Cole, Louis Deacon and Brett Deacon are recalled into the forward pack.

Logovi’i Mulipola is selected among the replacements on his return from injury.

Saturday’s match in Treviso – a third visit to the Stadio Monigo in the last three years – is a 2.35pm kick-off local time (1.35pm UK time). Live TV coverage is available on Sky Sports 1 via the red button.
