Leicester Tigers have been forced into a late change to the matchday squad for tonight's Premiership Rugby Cup game against Sale Sharks.

Matt Rogerson, who was set to make his senior club debut in the match at Salford Stadium, has been ruled out through illness.

The back-rower will be replaced by Kyle Hatherell at No.8, who was originally named among the replacements.
