Marcos Ayerza and Lachlan McCaffrey return to the Leicester Tigers forward pack for Sunday's Aviva Premiership Rugby Round 4 meeting with Bath Rugby at Welford Road.
International prop Ayerza, who made his debut for the club against Bath in September 2006 and his 200th starting appearance in the last home game against Wasps in Round 2, joins Dan Cole and captain Tom Youngs in the front row.
McCaffrey lines up alongside Mike Williams and Brendon O’Connor in the back row after also missing the win at Newcastle Falcons last weekend.
In the backline, Telusa Veainu moves to full-back, with Adam Thompstone coming into the back three.
Mathew Tait is named among the replacements and is in line for his 100th appearance for the club since his debut in 2011.
