Leicester Tigers have recalled No8 Thomas Waldrom but will be without the injured Marcos Ayerza for tomorrow's Heineken Cup Pool 4 clash against Clermont Auvergne at Welford Road (1.30pm).

Waldrom started last week's game at Clermont on the bench because of ankle injury, with Steve Mafi promoted to the starting XV, but he is fit for the return.

Loose head prop Ayerza injured a wrist last weekend and is replaced by Boris Stankovich.

Stankovich's promotion means a call-up to the replacements bench for Julian White, and Ben Woods is selected as the back-row cover in the only other changes to the squad.

Tickets are available from the Tigers ticket office (open until 5pm Friday and from 9am on matchday).

Call in or telephone the hotline on 0844 856 1880. Supporters can also book tickets at the Tigers Club Store in Market Street, Leicester, or book online and collect from the stadium on your way to the game.
