(Reuters) - Wasps go into Saturday's Premiership final without Brad Shields, Kieran Brookes, Simon McIntyre and Alfie Barbeary, ruled out due to contact tracing protocols, but also missing Malakai Fekitoa through a groin injury sustained in the semi-final.

Wasps were cleared to play the final against European champions Exeter on Wednesday after 11 positive tests in the camp and coach Lee Blackett was forced into four changes from the team that thrashed Bristol in the semi-final.
