British & Irish Lions winger Mack Hansen is a doubt for the primary Check towards Australia on Saturday after sustaining a foot harm towards the Australia-New Zealand Invitational on Saturday.
Hansen didn’t take part in full coaching on Tuesday, a day after Scotland winger Darcy Graham was introduced into the Lions squad from New Zealand.
“He harm his foot within the sport, I do not suppose it’s something critical however he was managed right this moment,” Lions assistant coach Richard Wigglesworth advised British media in Brisbane.
“Hopefully he will probably be totally built-in fairly shortly. It’s nothing that we’re overly involved about however we want to ensure we now have sufficient numbers at coaching.
“But it surely would not look too critical. A doubt is anybody who did not prepare totally right this moment, however he is undoubtedly not dominated out.”
Hansen provides to the Lions’ backline considerations following accidents to fullback Blair Kinghorn and centre Garry Ringrose.
Fullback Elliot Daly left Australia after being dominated out of the sequence with a fractured arm.
Hugo Keenan, who began within the 48-0 thumping of AUNZ on the Adelaide Oval, is predicted to begin at fullback for the Lions, with Marcus Smith in a position to present cowl from the bench.
Fly-half/centre Owen Farrell is one other midfield possibility for head coach and father Andy Farrell, who already has Bundee Aki, Sione Tuipulotu and Huw Jones in his squad.
Owen Farrell was stable in his 30-minute cameo at inside centre towards AUNZ, and Wigglesworth mentioned he was having fun with working with the previous England captain.
“He is been nice, as we knew he can be. Not everybody did, however we knew,” Wigglesworth mentioned.
“You all understand how good he’s, the affect he has, his information and the way he helps different folks get higher.
“He is the influential Owen that we all know and love.”
