Ross Moriarty suffers injury setback

Wales flanker Ross Moriarty has suffered a fresh back injury while in training with Gloucester.

The 23-year-old's injury is similar to the one that ended his Lions tour in New Zealand after just one game.

"It's not the same injury, but it is similar symptoms that we just manage and treat," said Gloucester boss Johann Ackermann.

"They don't want to give us a timeline because it just adds pressure to the player, but obviously we've backed off a bit with him coming back into games.

"He's doing his rehab, he's doing his running - all those things to get him back and once they feel they've built him up enough then they will get him back on the field."


Moriarty will miss Gloucester's Saturday 18 November game against Saracens at Kingsholm in Premiership while Wales are hosting Georgia in Cardiff.
