Back injury setback hits Spratt

Ospreys

Promising Ospreys centre Jonathan Spratt has returned from a spell in New Zealand with a back injury.

The 22-year-old has impressed with provincial side Taranaki in the summer, but has returned with a disc problem likely to sideline him for two months.

Forward Andy Lloyd is set to miss six weeks with an elbow injury.

Jon Thomas, Rhodri Wells, Sonny Parker, Kris Phillips, Cai Griffiths, Gareth Owen, Mike Phillips and Ben Lewis are also on the Ospreys injury list.

Parker (chest) faces a fitness test next week, but could return against London Irish.

Nikki Walker, James Hook, Lyndon Bateman and Jamie Nutbrown are back from injury to face Worcester on Sunday, though.

Gavin Henson also returns after his two-match suspension.
