ELLIOT Daly is to undergo an X-ray for a possible broken forearm after being forced off in the second half of the British and Irish Lions' 52-12 victory over Queensland Reds.

Head coach Andy Farrell denied the Lions are facing problems at full-back despite the doubt that now hovers over Daly's ongoing participation in the tour.

Daly made a remarkable 11th successive appearance in a Lions matchday 23 after being drafted in as a late replacement for Huge Keenan, who was ruled out by ill-ness shortly before kick-off.

The England star and veteran of three Lions tours was on song again for Farrell's men, only to be left clutching his left arm in agony after making a tackle on Jock Campbell and, after playing on, he left the field in the 67th minute.

"Elliot's got a bang on the fore-arm and he's going for an X-ray this evening (Wednesday). We've all got our fingers crossed for him," Farrell said.

"He's been back to his good old self. We've seen him do that on these tours before and he's certainly the type of character that loves touring. He's a people person.
