WASPS hope to have Dominic Waldouck back in the squad for Sunday’s match against London Irish.

The centre injured his Achilles in the warm-up before last weekend’s defeat to Northampton Saints but it was not serious and he should be fit in time.

However, Richard Birkett, Joe Worsley and Steve Kefu are all out.

Birkett fractured his eye socket and could miss the rest of the season, Worsley aggravated an old neck injury and Kefu limped out of the Saints game with knee damage.

Also doubtful are Richard Haughton, Tim Payne and Serge Betsen.

A decision will be taken on them today.
