Scotland sweating on Magnus Bradbury

Scotland are sweating on the fitness of back-row Magnus Bradbury after he underwent a scan on Monday for a suspected dislocated shoulder.

The 23-year-old was forced off the field in the first-half of Edinburgh‘s 40-14 Champions Cup victory over Toulon on Saturday.

Edinburgh head coach Richard Cockerill said on Monday Bradbury would go for the scan later in the day but he feared the player would be sidelined for a while.

“There’s a fear that he’s a had a slight dislocation in that shoulder – yet to be confirmed, but it’s likely to be weeks rather than days,” said Cockerill.

“Best case it’s a few weeks, worst case a few months. But until we have sight of the scans and a proper opinion, we won’t know.”

Bradbury has played in four Tests for Scotland, after making his international debut in 2016 and he won his last cap in the 44-15 victory over Argentina in Resistencia in June.
