Narraway closing in on comeback

Gloucester's Luke Narraway
Narraway hurt his hamstring in Gloucester's defeat at Cardiff

Gloucester forward Luke Narraway has said he hopes to be back playing within weeks, after he injured his hamstring for the second time earlier this month.

Narraway limped off against the defeat by Cardiff Blues in the Heineken Cup, at the Millennium Stadium.

The forward told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:: "The injury is not as bad as we thought, being a reoccurrence of what I did in the Newcastle game.

"I got a bit worried and thought I did a straight tear. It is back related."

Gloucester full-back Olly Morgan was also injured during the same game but has returned to training.

England have released Morgan from the squad training for the autumn Tests so he can play for Gloucester in the EDF Energy Cup this weekend.
