Clermont head coach Franck Azema says Morgan Parra and Remi Lamerat will be fit for Saturday’s European Champions Cup final clash with Saracens.

Scrum-half Parra suffered a thigh strain and centre Lamerat a knee knock in the French club's bruising 27-22 semi-final win over Leinster last month.

However, Parra, a veteran of Clermont's two Champions Cup final defeats against Toulon in 2013 and 2015, will be available alongside Lamerat for the match in Edinburgh, which is live on Sky Sports 3HD.

Azema added that the hardest thing in the run-up to the game was to deal with the anticipation and nerves.
