Ellis suffered a knee injury during the Guinness Premiership semi-final win over Bristol and could miss Saturday's final with Gloucester and the Heineken Cup final with Wasps at the same venue.

Coach Pat Howard said: "I've done a lot of rotation. If someone has to step in, he has probably played 10 or 12 games."

With the EDF Energy Cup already collected, Leicester are now two wins away from achieving a mighty clean sweep in Howard's farewell season before he returns home to Australia.

He added: "We know we've got two very hard teams to play, and that we will have to play them back to back.

"We've also had a lot of hard games on the trot. A lot of blokes came off the back of the Six Nations, so it has been an intense period and the players deserve an immense amount of credit and respect."
