David Lemi will return to the Bristol side this weekend after missing a month of rugby with a wrist injury.

The Samoan winger, arguably Bristol's most potent attacking threat, has not featured since damaging his wrist against Saracens at the Memorial Stadium on October 1.

He will return – against the same opponents and at the same venue – in Saturday's EDF Energy Cup group match.

And head coach Richard Hill is planning to field a full-strength first team as Bristol do not have another match until their Guinness Premiership clash with Northampton on November 16.

"Our team this weekend will be virtually a completely changed side from the one we put out against Scarlets," said Hill, whose side went down 27-0 at Stradey Park on Friday.

"We've got David Lemi back after he took a bang to the wrist, and he has got his try-scoring form back this season.

"He will be pretty crucial to us, and young Mathew Turner is probably in the same mould as Lemi. I think we will keep him into the 22 on merit this weekend."

But Bristol will be without both Alfie To'oala (thigh) and Iain Grieve (dead leg) on Saturday.
