England fly-half Danny Cipriani is set to make his return from injury for Wasps in their European Challenge Cup clash against Bayonne on Saturday.

Cipriani has been sidelined for two months because of a fractured fibula and is on replacement duty for a second successive weekend.

He was not required during Wasps' 24-22 Premiership victory over Leicester last Sunday, but has since played an A League fixture to move closer to a first-team return.

"There is a real strength throughout the bench this weekend," said Wasps rugby director Tony Hanks, whose substitutes also include Paul Sackey and Simon Shaw.

"Guys are returning from injury, including Mark Robinson and Danny Cipriani, who picked up game-time as part of the A side last Monday."
