ENGLAND hopeful Ben Te'o is on the bench as Worcester Warriors make three changes to their starting line-up for tomorrow's Aviva Premiership trip to Leicester Tigers (3pm).

Dean Hammond returns to the side after a hamstring problem in the place of injured wing Cooper Vuna (knee).

Fly-half Ryan Lamb starts in place of Tom Heathcote, while hooker Jaba Bregvadze replaces Niall Annett, who suffered a blow to the head towards the end of the first half in last Sunday's 11-9 win against Newcastle Falcons.

Te’o returns to Worcester's squad after missing their last three matches with concussion.

There is also a place on the bench for hooker Matti Williams, who could be set for his Warriors debut.

Dom Barrow and Jono Kitto come into the Leicester Tigers starting line-up.
 
Barrow partners Graham Kitchener at lock after returning from injury as part of the squad at Sale Sharks last weekend.

England international prop Ellis Genge starts a game at Welford Road for the first time as he joins Tom Youngs and Greg Bateman in the front row.

Kitto lines up at scrum-half in his first start of the season, with the rest of the backline unchanged from the trip to Sale in Round 5.
 
Harry Thacker is included in the matchday squad for the first time this season after leading the Tigers Development XV to a third successive win against Sale Jets this week.
