Lions land in Australia with fitness concerns over Gibson-Park and Keenan

Huw Jones available for game against Western Force

The British and Irish Lions have touched down in Australia with the head coach, Andy Farrell, revealing there are lingering injury concerns over Jamison Gibson-Park and Hugo Keenan.

Farrell’s squad arrived into Perth after a 20-hour journey from Dublin via Doha, before Saturday’s opening fixture on Australian soil against the Western Force. There is doubt over whether the Ireland duo Gibson-Park and Keenan will be able to take part at Optus Stadium because of respective glute and calf problems, but the Scotland centre Huw Jones has recovered from an achilles issue and is available.

“We’ll see how they pull up in midweek,” Farrell said of Gibson-Park and Keenan. “Huw Jones is good, he’s been training. He trained fully with us last week so he’s up and running.”
