The Ospreys have named a squad of 24 ahead of Friday night's Magners League game against Glasgow Warriors at Firhill (KO 7.05pm).
Second-row Ian Evans is included in the 24 and looks set to make a long awaited return to action following 10 months on the sidelines following ACL reconstruction surgery after he injured his knee playing for Wales against New Zealand at the Millennium Stadium last November.
Glasgow currently sit in fourth place, after winning their open two fixtures, against Munster and the Scarlets, before suffering a 30-19 defeat at the hands of Newport Gwent Dragons last weekend.
