Wales' Cory Allen due to undergo scan on ankle injury

Wales centre Cory Allen is due to undergo a scan on Monday after being injured during Cardiff Blues' defeat to Leinster.

Allen was carried off after suffering an ankle injury in the Guinness PRO12 clash, and Wales assistant coach Rob Howley said the 23-year-old faces further assessment to "determine the extent" of his injury.

Wales continue their Six Nations campaign against France in Cardiff on Friday evening, with Howley saying: "We are hopeful it won't be as bad as first thought."

Elsewhere, Jonathan Davies missed Clermont Auvergne's league game against Castres due to a groin problem but was due to train on Monday afternoon.

The centre, who is an integral part of Wales' Six Nations title ambitions, recently returned to Test rugby after missing the entire World Cup earlier this season because of a serious knee injury.

Howley added that lock Luke Charteris was continuing his rehabilitation with Wales' medical staff. Charteris was not involved for Racing 92 in their French Top 14 meeting with Grenoble on Saturday due to knee trouble.

However, fly-half Rhys Priestland was in training on Monday, albeit non-contact after suffering what Howley described as a "dead leg" during Bath's Aviva Premiership home defeat against Wasps.
