| Cohen originally damaged his shoulder in Saints' league game against Leicester Tigers on October 14. He further irritated the injury in the following weeks. He replaces young French winger Matthieu Bourret in this Monday's starting XV. Several changes have been made from the team that was beaten by Saracens last Wednesday with lock pairing David Gerard and Christian Short making their return along with Darren Fox to the back-row. Paul Diggin and Mark Robinson will also start, this 3pm home game against bottom-placed Worcester at Franklin's Gardens, at full-back and scrum-half respectively. Head coach Paul Grayson said: "We are glad we can welcome back Ben Cohen from injury for this very important game. We would have liked to have been able to rest a few more players during the past week but our lack of backs made that impossible. All clubs have had to cope with this busy festive period so we are all in the same position going into Monday's games." Saints are currently lying in 11th place in the GUINNESS PREMIERSHIP.
