No broken bones means Humphreys set for quick return to action

DAVID HUMPHREYS’ prospects of a quick return to action appear to have improved after x-rays on his elbow injury did not detect any broken bones.

Humphreys sustained the injury in the early stages of the Magners League contest which was the final match at the old Lansdowne Road stadium. He will undergo a further MRI scan on the injury today which should reveal more information but he’s regarded as doubtful for Saturday’s game against Glasgow.

Connacht have been dealt a big blow with promising three-quarter Keith Matthews likely to be out until next season after suffering a serious knee injury against Munster.
