The Ospreys are pleased to be able to confirm that Ben Lewis has been discharged from Morriston Hospital in Swansea after sustaining a neck injury during Saturday’s win over Aironi at the Liberty Stadium. Head Physio Chris Towers explained: “I’m pleased to be able to say that it’s good news regarding Ben’s recovery.

“After being admitted to Morriston Hospital on Saturday night and undergoing tests and examination, Ben has now been discharged from hospital, and fortunately, has no lasting damage from the neck injury sustained.

“Under the circumstances, it is still a serious injury and we are still liaising with specialists regarding his recovery but the prognosis is very good.

“Once the initial stage has settled down we will be in a better position to confirm and target a date for Ben to return, which fingers crossed, will not be too lengthy a process.”
