Manu Tuilagi is set to make his long-awaited comeback for Leicester Tigers in the next "couple of weeks", according to director of rugby Richard Cockerill.
The 25-year-old England centre, who has been dogged by injury for two years and has not played since the first game of the season because of a groin injury, warmed up with his team mates ahead of Leicester's comfortable 25-6 Aviva Premiership home win against Harlequins.
"We are hoping within the next couple of weeks he will be in the 23. It would be nice would not it?" Cockerill said.
"You saw him before the game, he looks sharp. I am just waiting for the medics to say he is good to go."
The Tigers face Bristol on Friday, before a derby at home to Northampton on December 3.
