Harry Randall and Siva Naulago lead a star cast of returning injured players looking to give Bristol Bears a boost heading into the second half of the season.
England international scrum-half Randall has been out since the Autumn after tearing his hamstring but is set to return this weekend away at Zebre having been a travelling reserve last week.
Meanwhile, Fijian-born winger Naulago could also make his first appearance of the season having recovered from knee surgery and then a hamstring injury in training which set his return date back by a couple of months.
