"Conor Murray, the prognosis with him looks pretty positive in terms of hopefully getting back and getting a game for Munster," the Lions head coach told Sky Sports News. "That will be good for him over the next few weeks if he can get a game."Rassie Erasmus already suggested that Murray could still potentially be available for the clash with Connacht although it's believed that the game might just come too soon. Elsewhere, Lions captain Sam Warburton and Alun Wyn Jones are also in a race against time but they're coming along as well as Murray.
"I spoke to Sam yesterday and he feels that he could play now, and so he has made some really good progress and is really happy with how he has responded to treatment over the last few weeks," Gatland confirmed. "I expect him to play before he goes to New Zealand. "[Jones] is making good progress as well. [Lions assistant coach] Steve Borthwick went down and saw him last week and he's confident that he is going to be okay as well."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/853195976735109121
