British and Irish Lions face multiple injury doubts ahead Australia Test

British & Irish Lions winger Mack Hansen is a major doubt for the first Test against Australia on July 19 due to a foot injury sustained during a tour match against the Australia-New Zealand Invitational XV. Though the injury is not considered serious, Hansen did not participate in full training, and the Lions coaching staff have already made preliminary team selections, suggesting he and fullback Blair Kinghorn, who is also injured, may miss the Test. The Lions have limited options in the backline, with Ireland's Hugo Keenan expected to start at fullback and players like Huw Jones and Marcus Smith providing cover. Other squad members include fly-half/centre Owen Farrell, who is viewed as a reliable midfield option. Injuries also sidelined centre Garry Ringrose and fullback Elliot Daly, adding to the Lions' concerns ahead of the series opener at Suncorp Stadium. The Lions are expected to announce their final team on July 17, with potential for last-minute changes depending on player fitness.
