Connacht team news: Santiago Cordero could well return from injury soon but will not be fit for Saturday’s clash with Benetton

Summer signing Santiago Cordero could well return from injury soon but will not be fit for Saturday’s clash with Benettonon Saturday, followed by Pau in Europe’s Challenge Cup round of 16, and forwards coach John Muldoon admits the players missing are “not easily replaced”.nor Finlay Bealham are expected to be available this weekend, which comes on the back of the weekend’s mauling by Emirates Lions.

Aki is due to return to training later this week, Shayne Bolton has fully recovered, and there is also a possible first appearance of Argentinian Santiago Cordero. However, all are unavailable for Saturday’s battle in Treviso against a side that is now level on championship points with Connacht after 12 fixtures.

It is all about righting the wrongs of a poor performance against Emirates Lions - Connacht’s first home loss to a South African side.
