Maro Itoje to make comeback for Saracens at Bath

England star Maro Itoje will return to action for Saracens on Saturday when they take on Bath at the Recreational Ground.

The forward will be making his first appearance since injuring his right hand in the Champions Cup victory over Scarlets on October 22.

The 22-year-old will line-up alongside Jim Hamilton in the second row for Sarries with Mike Rhodes reverting to his familiar role of blindside flanker to join Schalk Burger and Jackson Wray in the back row.

Saracens head to Bath with a four-point lead over Wasps at the top of the Aviva Premiership table with Bath two points further back in third place.

Itoje, World Rugby's breakthrough player of the year, has missed England's four autumn international fixtures as a result of his injury, although Eddie Jones' side have won the first three of those matches.
