Racing 92 will welcome back French international winger Teddy Thomas from injury for Saturday's home European Champions Cup semi-final against Saracens, the Parisian club has announced. Thomas, 27 and with 19 France caps, has sat out Racing's opening three games of the season with a thigh injury, but will now take the place of Louis Dupichot, himself injured in the Cup quarter-final victory over Clermont. "He's ready," Racing coach Laurent Travers said of Thomas. "He was already pushing last week. "But it was important that he had a little more training time to be able to show all his qualities." Racing, however, will be without South African-born France forward Bernard Le Roux, replaced by ex-Ireland lock Donnacha Ryan. Also missing is Australian full-back Kurtley Beale, still sitting out a three-week ban for a high tackle in a Top 14 game against Montpellier. ll/lp
