Russell still bruised after head knock

By
Tuesday 24 May 2016

The Scotland international sustained the injury in the first minute of their 11-16 semifinal loss to Connacht in Galway.

However, his condition has improved significantly over the last couple of days and it's been confirmed that he does not require surgery.

Russell, who was transferred from University Hospital in Galway to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, is expected to be discharged later this week.

His return to training date will be determined when he is back in Glasgow.

Other players are still being assessed by the Glasgow Warriors medical team following Saturday's match.
