BEN Daly looks set to be in the shake-up for a Stoop showdown.

Worcester Warriors' hooker, who has been out of action since November because of a torn bicep muscle, is back in full training and could make a dramatic return at Harlequins next Saturday.

The Premiership clash will see the two sides, who have been together at the bottom end of the table all season, lock horns for the all-important match. And Daly is ready for his Worcester comeback.

"Ben's back in full training," said Worcester's director of rugby John Brain. "If there was a game on Saturday then he could play. Obviously, after being out for so long, he's going to be a little bit behind.

"We had a hard session this week and he probably wasn't at his normal level.

"He's normally got the type of fitness you'd expect from a back rower."

Daly -- who began his career as a flanker before being converted to a hooker -- could now offer Worcester an option in the back row. The Warriors are still effectively one player down after Leon Greeff's season-long injury and Daly could yet fill that blindside role.

"He's an option for us there," confirmed Brain. "Ironically, we were looking at that just before the Wasps game. We'd trained all week with that in mind before he got injured!

"We look at what Ben and Andre Van Niekerk can give us together in a game and it's certainly good to have Ben back because it increases the options for us.

"They are two very different players. One is more of a prop type hooker. The other is a flanker type hooker. However, there is a way that we can get them both on the field at the same time if we wanted to do that.

"We would then look at who throws in but, to be perfectly honest, Andre isn't a bad thrower and his performances have improved during the season."

Meanwhile, Harlequins hooker Ace Tiatia will miss the Worcester clash after being red-carded against Gloucester last Saturday.
