Interview: Gloucester head coach Dean Ryan

Gloucester head coach Dean Ryan says long-term absentees Olly Morgan and Alex Brown have trained this week and could face Worcester on Saturday.

The pair have been out with shoulder and jaw injuries but will compete for a starting place with players who have been away on Six Nations duty.

"It's good to see them back around," Ryan told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

"There's no reason why they can't be involved, everybody who's in training has got every chance."

Meanwhile Ryan has refused to name a possible comeback date for Mike Tindall, who is still recovering from a bruised liver sustained while on England duty.

"We've just got no benchmark of how this has gone with someone before so we don't have a set time.

"He's training a bit more, he's pushing a little bit harder in training and then we'll see how he reacts and react accordingly to that."
