Kyle Eastmond is expected to return to action for Bath Rugby in this evening's Aviva A League semi=final following his 'walk-out' at Sale Sharks earlier this month.
The England centre has not played for Bath since reportedly leaving the LV= Cup clash in Salford at half-time.
Eastmond, who hails from Oldham, was replaced by Matt Banahan at the break at the AJ Bell Stadium and reports in The Times claimed he drove home as the second half got under way.
Bath Academy player Ollie Devoto has since worn the Bath number 12 shirt in the subsequent fixtures against Exeter Chiefs and Wasps.
Following Bath's 28-5 Aviva Premiership win at Wasps yesterday, head coach Mike Ford said Eastmond has been selected for A League semi-final, which sees Bath United take on Sale Jets at The Rec (7.30pm).
"Kyle is selected to play tomorrow night," said Ford.
"Ollie Devoto played really well against Exeter in the LV= Cup and has kept his shirt. It will be tough to get it off him after today as well."
