Hooker Rob Rawlinson has been passed fit after coming off during last Friday's win over Newcastle at Headingley Carnegie. There have been a number of injury blows to Stuart Lancaster's side however.
Twelve players will be unavailable due to injury, four of which came in the 16-15 win over the Falcons. Jon Dunbar (shoulder), Lee Blackett (chest), Alberto Di Bernardo (shoulder) and Tommy McGee (shoulder) are the latest to join the injured list.
That list already includes Adam Balding (knee), Jonny Hepworth (knee), Andy Tuilagi (shoulder), Mike Aspinall (groin), Vili M'asi (bicep), Michael Cusack (thumb), Colin Noon (back) and Calum Clark (hip).
Leeds Carnegie skipper Stuart Hooper, Joe Bedford and James Parkes are all former Saracens players.
