England star Kyle Sinckler is fit and ready to go head-to-head with Sale Sharks’ fearsome pack at the AJ Bell Stadium on Saturday after recovering from a series of niggles.
The tighthead prop has not played for his club since England’s Six Nations campaign, during which he was hampered by concussion and back issues, but provides his club with a big lift for their Heineken Champions Cup round-of-16 doubleheader against the Sharks.
Sinckler's last appearance for any side was off the bench in England's 25-13 defeat to France on March 19 when he won his 52nd cap, with a further six Test appearances for the British and Irish Lions.
