Bristol Bears aim to have England prop tighthead Kyle Sinckler firing in time for their Heineken Champions Cup showdown with Sale Sharks on Saturday week, director of rugby Pat Lam confirmed
Sinckler appeared in all five Six Nations matches but was hampered by a back injury and then the concussion sustained against Ireland, both of which restricted his ability to train.
The 29-year-old tighthead was rested for Bristol’s Gallagher Premiership defeat by Saracens on Saturday and could also sit out this weekend’s clash at Northampton Saints.
