Recovering Ulster stars named in provisional squad

Despite being forced off the field in the win over Edinburgh at the weekend Pedrie Wannenburg (foot) and Ian Humphreys (hamstring) have been named in Ulster’s 33-man panel ahead of Friday’s crucial Heineken Cup match with Leicester at Ravenhill (8pm).

Young backline trio Luke Marshall, Paddy Jackson and Nevin Spence (all ankle) have also returned to training this week and are available for selection if required.
