Morgan ‘tracking well’ as recovery continues

But Ospreys unable to say if Six Nations will come too soon

- By BEN JAMES

OSPREYS head coach Mark Jones says Wales captain Jac Morgan is “tracking well” and could soon return to rugby-focused activities in the coming weeks.

However, the former Wales wing was unable to confirm whether that could translate to a return to the pitch during the Six Nations.

The British and Irish Lions back-row is due to miss the bulk of the tournament after dislocating his shoulder against Argentina in November.

The 25-year-old - who will join Gloucester next season - had to undergo surgery after picking up the injury in the 52-28 defeat.

The early prognosis was four to five months on the sidelines, meaning the Ospreys captain would miss the start of the Six Nations - with even his involvement in the latter matches against Ireland and Italy being doubtful.

However, former Wales wing Jones said that the openside is going well in his recovery - with Morgan set to return to rugby-focused training soon.
