Lions injury update: Courtney Lawes, Dan Biggar, Liam Williams…

FINN RUSSELL (ACHILLES)

Gatland revealed the worrying news about Russell’s ankle over the weekend.

“It isn’t a strained achilles, there is a slight little wee tear in it so it is going to keep him out for the next couple of weeks,” said the Lions coach.

“We are going to try and see if we can rehab him. He is going to be in a boot for the next five days and when he comes out of that, he will have some more treatment.

“He will still continue to get treatment over the next five days and if he is making good progress then we will assess him going forward. If he is not there is a possibility that he may go home. It’s a wait-and-see situation.”
