Mark Cueto is back for Sale Sharks' European Challenge Cup clash with Montpellier on Thursday.
The England winger returns to the Edgeley Park team alongside Jason White, whilst France powerhouse Sebastien Chabal has also been passed fit.
Director of rugby Philippe Saint Andre has stressed his desire to take the team all the way in the competition, with a passport to the Heineken Cup at stake.
"We won this competition in my first full season here and we are aiming to repeat this," he said.
"The European Challenge Cup is a very important competition. But our group is a tough one as we have to play Montpellier, Bayonne and Pardova.
"It's not just a case of winning the group either, as we have to aim to win well to secure a home tie in the quarter-final stages.
"I watched Montpellier play on television last weekend and whilst they lost the game, they are a useful side as they beat Perpignan at home in the first game of the season."
Sale: Ben Foden, Mark Cueto, Elvis Seveali'i, Lee Thomas, Steve Hanley, Charlie Hodgson, Richard Wigglesworth, Andrew Sheridan, Sebastien Bruno, Stuart Turner, Ignancio Fernandez Lobbe, Sean Cox, Jason White, Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe, Sebastien Chabal
