British and Irish Lions 2025: Jamison Gibson-Park and Hugo Keenan injury concerns for tourists

Ireland pair Jamison Gibson-Park and Hugo Keenan are injury concerns for the British and Irish Lions before their first game in Australia against the Western Force on Saturday.

The tourists arrived in Perth after a 20-hour journey from Dublin via Doha, Qatar, with head coach Andy Farrell revealing lingering issues with scrum-half Gibson-Park (glute) and full-back Keenan (calf), who both missed Leinster’s victory in the United Rugby Championship (URC) final.

Scotland centre Huw Jones has recovered from an Achilles issue though and is available for the opening game of the tour at Optus Stadium.

“We’ll see how they pull up in midweek,” Farrell said of Gibson-Park and Keenan.

“Huw Jones is good, he’s been training. He trained fully with us last week so he’s up and running.”

The Lions are likely to field a side including players from Leinster, Bath and Leicester, despite players from those clubs joining up with the squad late after their respective URC and Premiership finals.
