Boss Dai Flanagan has revealed talismanic second row star Will Rowlands is ahead of schedule for his planned return - and could yet feature in the European showdown with Glasgow Warriors.
Rowlands, 31, has been out of action since suffering a shoulder injury in the autumn international win against Argentina in November.
The lock had stated his hopes to return in April and Flanagan has now confirmed his growing optimism that Rowlands can make a successful return before his confirmed summer departure.
Dragons are next in league action against Ospreys on Saturday, March 25 before the huge EPCR Challenge Cup last 16 knockout tie with Glasgow on Saturday, April 1.
“Will is absolutely flying,” revealed Flanagan. “He is well ahead of schedule and will play some rugby for the Dragons this season, I am sure of that.
“We all know the game that we would like him back for, but he is touch and go for that.
“We are guided by the medics and with Will being a national player, we are guided by Wales as well.
“Will is getting the best treatment, but he is flying and we are hopeful he will be back soon.
“His rehabilitation sums up the guy, he is signing for one of the biggest clubs in Europe because he is such a good player and such a good professional.”
