Ulster have hinted skipper Iain Henderson may recover from injury in time for Friday’s second Champions Cup game at home against Northampton Saints.

Henderson suffered a hamstring injury just before Ireland’s international against Argentina last month but is known as a quick healer and head coach Dan McFarland hinted he could make a timely return this weekend.
