by Before the first test against Australia, the injury concerns are around the British and Irish lions this weekend, with Mack Hansen now having a great doubt.
The Ireland and the Connacht star have so far impressed to put his claim to James Lowe and Tommy Freeman on a starting place on the wing against the Wallabies in order to suffer a foot injury on Saturday during the last warm-up game against an Aunz Invitational XV in Adelaide.

The Lions are confident that Hansen’s problem is nothing serious, although he did not train in Brisbane on Tuesday and was able to expose the test kick -off on Saturday at the Suncorp Stadium.
“Mack injured the foot in the game. I don’t think it’s serious, but he was managed today (Tuesday),” said attack coach Richard Wigglesworth.
“Hopefully it will be completely integrated pretty quickly. It is nothing we will get over. We will know a little more tomorrow.”
The Lions already had concerns about Blair Kinghorn, the alleged test starter at Full-Back, which was helped to hold the tour late after he had helped Toulouse, but was forced with a knee injury last week during the victory against the act bums in Canberra.

“We have to see what Blair looks like tomorrow,” said Wigglesworth on Tuesday. “He didn’t train with the squad completely, but he was on his feet, so we will know a little more in the next 24 hours whether we can get it on the field.”
If Kinghorn is not fit, Ireland’s Hugo Keenan would certainly keep No. 15 jersey for the first test against Australia.
The Lions will definitely be in Brisbane this weekend without Garry Ringrose after suffering from the Brumbie’s headache after this victory and there was no subsequent evaluation of the head injury, and he demanded that he will return for at least 12 days, which he was going on until the game against the nations in McG.
Luke Cowan-Dickie is also expected to miss the first test after he was warded off with a head injury in the first half of the emphatic 48: 0 victory against the Auunz Invitational side.

Head coach Andy Farrell has made a Flurry of New Lions calls in the past few days to swell the size of his squad on 44 players. Jamie George dragged himself out of the English team for the second test against Argentina to fly to Brisbane after the violation of Cowan-Dickie after he was trained with The Lions This Summer in Portugal and Dublin.
The Ireland -Prop Tom Clarkson and the versatile back, Jamie Osborne, were moved in addition to the Scottish trio by Ewan Asman, Rory Sutherland and Darcy Graham, who are for the game against Pasifika XV Cover for the game against Pasifika XV, since Farrell wants to protect his test players in this game.
