Exeter Chiefs are buoyed by the return to training of Ben Moon and Geoff Parling although neither will be risked in today’s European Rugby Champions Cup opener at Ospreys (1730ko).
Injury rules out Thomas Waldrom (thigh) and Phil Dollman (rib) both forced off during last Saturday’s 19-6 Premiership win over Leicester Tigers.
Exeter-born Sam Hill comes into the centre in place of Ian Whitten and Matt Jess is promoted from the bench to the wing, meaning England international wing Jack Nowell takes over at full-back from Dollman.
England forward Tom Johnson is included in the first team squad for the first time this campaign, along with Italian newcomer Michele Campagnaro, who has played for Benetton Treviso in the cup before.
