Newport Gwent Dragons lose Dorian Jones for 'a few months'
Monday 4 January 2016 12:14, UK
Newport Gwent Dragons fly-half Dorian Jones is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a pectoral injury.
Jones, 23, suffered the injury during the 12-7 defeat to the Ospreys.
"Dorian's injury looks quite serious and could be a few months, which is a blow because he has been right on top of his game," said director of rugby Lyn Jones.
"I thought Dorian was starting to challenge for national honours behind Dan Biggar but this will put him back a couple of months, which is a shame."
On the plus side for the Dragons, Wales stars Hallam Amos and Tyler Morgan are closing on a return to action after suffering injuries during the World Cup.
Jones said: "They have made really good progress and the medical department from top to bottom need to be congratulated for getting them back with such speed.
"They've recovered very well and we expect them both to be playing some part in the European competition shortly."
