Gloucester Rugby Faces Injury Concerns Ahead of Challenge Cup

Frank Lampard provided an injury update on Coventry City's goalkeeper Ben Wilson, who is recovering from a knee ligament injury, stating he is making progress but must be handled cautiously. Additionally, Lampard noted that leading scorer Haji Wright is also progressing well but did not provide a timeline for his return. In rugby, Bath Rugby faces challenges with injuries affecting key players Alfie Barbeary, Ted Hill, and Sam Underhill ahead of their match against La Rochelle, while Gloucester's Zach Mercer and Ollie Thorley are likely facing long-term absences due to knee injuries sustained last weekend. George Skivington expressed concerns over Mercer and Thorley's injuries, indicating that their scans may reveal serious issues. Despite these setbacks, both teams have shown resilience and depth in their rosters to cope with the challenges ahead.
