Saints boss Mallinder expects England trio to be fit for London Irish clash
Corbisiero was forced off during the second half of Saturday’s 31-24 victory against Bath after suffering a shoulder knock.
Meanwhile, Wood, who missed the previous week’s win at Newcastle, and Lawes were both absent for that Aviva Premiership encounter with back and shoulder injuries respectively.

“Alex took a bang to his shoulder. I don’t think it is anything worse than that,” said the Saints boss.
“Courtney and Tom trained on Friday at the team run and they just reacted to that. I don’t think they are far off (from playing).
“There are no major concerns. We have generally got a fit squad.
“Tom has got a bit of a sore back and Courtney a sore shoulder. They are improving and hopefully with an extra week they will be fit to play down at London Irish on Saturday.”
